Gases that participate radiatively in the infrared part of the spectrum emit and absorb in thousands of spectral lines grouped in so-called vibration-rotation bands unique to each gas species. The strength of these absorption lines depends on the gas concentration, pressure and gas temperature.
Satellite remote sensing is a widely spread method to characterize the state of the atmosphere and to monitor atmospheric components such as water vapor, clouds and aerosols. Atmospheric instruments measure radiances averaged over more or less narrow spectral bands. The most recent generations of satellites produce large amounts of data that need to be converted into geophysical parameters.
