abstract = {The GLORIA-B (Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging
of the Atmosphere - Balloon) instrument is an adaptation of
the very successful GLORIA-AB imaging Fourier transform
spectrometer (iFTS) flown on the research aircrafts HALO and
M55 Geophysica. The high spectral resolution in the LWIR
(Long Wave Infrared) allows for the retrieval of temperature
and of a broad range of atmospheric trace gases, with the
goal to retrieve O<sub>3</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O,
HNO<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>,
C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>, HCOOH, CCl<sub>4</sub>, PAN,
ClONO<sub>2</sub>, CFC-11, CFC-12, SF<sub>6</sub>, OCS,
NH<sub>3</sub>, HCN, BrONO<sub>2</sub>,
HO<sub>2</sub>NO<sub>2</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and
NO<sub>2</sub>. The radiometric sensitivity of the Balloon
instrument is further increased in comparison with the
GLORIA-AB instrument by having two detector channels on the
same focal plane array, while keeping the same concept of a
cooled optical system. This system improvement was achieved
with minimal adaptation of the existing optical
system.</p><p>The high spatial and temporal resolution of
the instrument is ensured by the imaging capability of the
Fourier transform spectrometer while stabilizing the
line-of-sight in elevation with the instrument and in
azimuth with the balloon gondola. In a single measurement
lasting 13 seconds, the atmosphere can be sounded from
mid-troposphere up to flight altitude, typically 30 km, with
a vertical resolution always better than 1 km for most
retrieved species; a spatial resolution up to 0.3 km can be
achieved in favourable conditions. Temperature retrieval
precision between 0.1 and 0.2 K is expected. A spectral
sampling up to 0.0625 cm<sup>-1</sup> can be
achieved.</p><p>The first flight of GLORIA-B shall take
place during the late-summer polar jet turn-around at
Kiruna/ESRANGE. This flight is organised in the frame of the
HEMERA project and was scheduled for summer 2020, but was
ultimately postponed to summer 2021. Beyond qualification of
the first balloon-borne iFTS, the scientific goals of the
flight are, among others, the quantification of the
stratospheric bromine budget and its diurnal evolution by
measuring vertical profiles of BrONO<sub>2 </sub>in
combination with BrO observations by the DOAS instrument of
University Heidelberg on the same platform.</p>},
