The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is a high-resolution infrared imaging Fourier transform spectrometer specifically aimed at determining the chemical state of the Earth's lower atmosphere (the troposphere). In particular, TES produces vertical profiles 0-32 km of important pollutant and greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide, ozone, methane, and water vapor on a global scale every other day.
