      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).},
