abstract = {Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) sounding of the thermal
emission of the Earth’s atmosphere is versatile tool to
address multiple scientific questions with one single
instrument. Broad spectral channels in combination with high
spectral resolution provide access to a variety of trace
gases, temperature and clouds. In the last decades, airborne
FTIR sounders were deployed for demonstration of
technologies designated for space instruments, validation of
implemented missions, and addressing distinct scientific
questions. We present a brief selection of observations by
the airborne limb sounder MIPAS-STR (Michelson
Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric
Sounding-STRatospheric aircraft), the airborne limb imager
GLORIA (Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
Atmosphere), the balloon-borne MIPAS-B instrument, and MIPAS
onboard ENVISAT in the last decades together with further
observations and model data. The presented results comprise
observations of the Arctic polar vortex, populations of
large nitric acid trihydrate particles in polar
stratospheric clouds, the mesoscale fine structure of a
tropopause fold, and gravity waves caused by merging jet
streams. These studies illustrate how advances in FTIR limb
observations enabled access to smaller scales and supported
atmospheric research in a time, where important progress was
also made in chemistry transport modelling and weather
forecasting. They furthermore provide a glimpse of what can
be expected from proposed future space missions, such as the
ESA earth explorer 11 candidate CAIRT (Changing-Atmosphere
Infrared Tomography).},
