AB: TES is an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer on board the EOS-Aura spacecraft, launched 7/15/2004. Improvements to the radiometric calibration and consequent assessment of radiometric accuracy have been on-going since launch. The primary source of data used for radiance intercomparisons is AIRS on the Aqua platform, in the same orbit but about 15 minutes ahead of Aura. Scenes identified as homogenous to both AIRS and TES provide a basis set for testing improvements to the TES L1B calibration algorithm. Spectra from S-HIS on the WB-57 underflying Aura are also a valuable check on TES radiances because they provide spatial sampling on a smaller footprint than TES. We present the estimated radiometric accuracy of TES data currently available as well as the projected accuracy for future improvements based on prototyping results that include improvements to the L1B phase correction methods and model of temporal variability. We show agreement with AIRS to less than 0.5 K in observed brightness temperature using our latest calibration prototype.
