ABSTRACT
TES is an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer on board the EOS-Aura spacecraft. The first on-orbit interferograms were acquired August 20, 2004. We present the methods for producing calibrated radiance spectra and show initial results for atmospheric nadir and limb spectra. We also show comparisons of TES nadir spectra to Aqua-AIRS spectra, where the AIRS data are taken on the same orbit path about 15 minutes before TES data are taken.

Calibration Issues & Systematic Error Sources
Time Dependence of instrument responseand offset
Ice BuildupshearOrbital variations
Scan to Scan Phase AlignmentNeeds to be more robust
Possible angle dependence
L1B Calibration Error EstimatesA)The imaginary mean is a measure of the residual radiance remaining in the imaginaryterm after complex calibration. Ideally, this should be unbiased with RMS close to the noise level. Variations from this indicate systematic calibration errors.B) Spectral averages of estimated NESR (Noise Equivalent Spectral Radiance)

NADIR AFRICAN DESERT SPECTRUM AT NIGHT Taken over Mauritania, 19.57° N,11.07° W, 9/20/2004. TroposphericH2O and CH4 are observed in emission in the spectral region with lower surface emissivity due to silicates in the soil. Green curve shows an example of spectral emissivity for desert sandstone. (from the ASTER spectral library)

Radiometric and Frequency Calibration of EOS-Aura TES Infrared Spectra A33A-0121
Initial calibration results show reasonable agreement with AIRS data.Further algorithm refinement is in progress to reduce systematic errors due to:• phase alignment of calibration and target scans• time dependence of instrument response and offset• view dependence, if detected.Beta release for TES L1B data will be in early 2005 at the Langley DAAC: http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/
