The temperature measurement is accomplished by a multichannel photometric measurement of the spectral shape of the molecular oxygen A-band around 762 nm. For each field of view, the signals of the two oxygen lines and the 1A-band are detected on different regions of a single, cooled, frame transfer charge coupled device (CCD) detector. Two filter channels sample either end of the band to define a background (754.1 and 780.1 nm) and three more sample its shape (760.0, 762.8, and 765.2 nm). Using three filters that sample the band shape allows the simultaneous retrieval of the atmospheric temperature and common shifts in the center wavelengths of the pass bands due to thermal drifts of the filters. }, publisher={NASA Space Physics Data Facility}, author={Harding, Brian J. and Englert, Christoph R. and Harlander, John M. and Marr, Kenneth D. and Makela, Jonathan M. and Brown, Charles M. and England, Scott L. and Immel, Thomas J.}, year={2023} }
