✦ Synopsis

A new compact, portable Fourier transform spectrometer, called the Portable Atmospheric Research Interferometric Spectrometer for the Infrared (PARIS-IR), has been built for atmospheric remote sensing. The first comprehensive description of the configuration and performance of this instrument for ground-based and balloon-borne operation is provided. Sample atmospheric absorption spectra and representative results observed at the Waterloo Atmospheric Observatory (WAO) are given. The good agreement between PARIS-IR, Brewer spectrophotometer, and ozonesonde measurements of the column density of ozone at mid-latitudes demonstrate the performance and the reliability of the instrument.
