Hi,

As we're preparing metadata for data coming out of the SHIFT airborne campaign, we find ourselves in need of a new GCMD instrument vocabulary entry, here are the details:

Short name: HyTES
Long name: Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer
Hierarchical Path: Instruments > Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Passive Remote Sensing > Spectrometers/Radiometers > Imaging Spectrometers/Radiometers > HyTES
Description: The Hyperspectral Thermal Emissions Spectrometer (HyTES) instrument has 512 pixels across track with pixel sizes in the range of 5 to 50 m depending on aircraft flying height and 256 spectral channels between 7.5 and 12 µm. The HyTES design is built upon a Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (FPA), a cryo-cooled Dyson Spectrometer and a high-efficiency, concave blazed grating, produced using E-beam lithography. HyTES was originally developed to support the Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) mission. HyTES is useful for a number of applications, including high-resolution surface temperature and emissivity measurements, point sources of air pollution, and volcano observations.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Thanks,

Hello Yaxing, we will review your keyword request.

Hi @GCMD - tstevens, could you please help to change the 4th word of the definition from "Emissions" to "Emission"? The remaining looks good. Apologize that I initially put an extra character "s" there.

Thanks,
Yaxing

@ORNL - yaxingwei I have made this change.

Thanks @GCMD - tstevens, it looks good!

Best,
Yaxing
