abstract = {Measurements of the spectrum of the atmospheric emission in
the far-infrared (FIR) range, between 100 and 667 cm−1
(100–15 µm) are scarce because of the detection
complexity and of the strong absorption of air at ground
level preventing the sounding of the FIR from low altitude.
Consequently, FIR measurements need to be made from
high-altitude sites or on board airborne platforms or
satellites. This paper describes the dataset of FIR spectral
radiances of the atmosphere and snow surface emission
measured in the 100–1000 cm−1 range by the
Far-Infrared Radiation Mobile Observation System (FIRMOS)
instrument during a 2-month campaign carried out from the
ground at about 3000 m of altitude on the top of Mt.
Zugspitze in the German Alps in 2018–2019. This campaign
is part of the preparatory activity of a new space FIR
mission, named Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding
and Monitoring (FORUM), which is under development by the
European Space Agency (ESA). The dataset acquired during the
campaign also includes all the additional measurements
needed to provide a full characterisation of the observed
atmospheric state and the local atmospheric and surface
conditions. It includes co-located spectral measurements in
the infrared range from 400 to 1800 cm−1; lidar
backscatter profiles; radio soundings of temperature,
humidity and aerosol backscatter profiles; local weather
parameters; and snow/ice microphysical properties. These
measurements provide a unique dataset that can be used to
perform radiative closure experiments to improve modelling
parameters in the FIR that are not well-characterised, such
as water vapour spectroscopy, scattering properties of
cirrus clouds, and the FIR emissivity of the surface covered
by snow. The consolidated dataset is freely available via
the ESA campaign dataset website at
