Emission lines are typically a few thousandths of a wavenumber wide, requiring optical resolving powers of 100,000 or more to measure.
Typically, good spectrometers achieve 10,000. DWTS achieves >300,000.
Doppler Shift Measurements
Broadband emission will not detect Doppler shift, nor will spectra measurements, unless there is a zero shift reference

A Gas Filter Reference
DWTS “Notch” filter Approach
By viewing through a sample of the emitting gas, a filter is produced that causes a drop in signal during the Doppler
Integration Pass (DIP) through the zero shift position
GATS Proprietary

Add Gas Cell – One Emission Line Example.Gas cell acts as high resolution notch filter and
effectively serves as the zero shift reference point.
The “shift, Δν ” is the spectral separation of the cell spectra (black absorption feature) from the observed
atmospheric spectra (red emission feature).

Multi-line Effect
The emission lines that match the corresponding cell gas lines (i.e.
“notch” filters), are scanned simultaneously, producing a DIP signal consistent with the total
multi-line emission. The DIP width is the same as the single line DIP.

Orbit Implementation
By imaging the limb, normal to the spacecraft (SC) velocity vector, air
parcels at all altitudes will produce a DIP signal as they traverse the FOV
(i.e the 2D detector array).
The animation tracks just one exaggerated Limb Air Volume (LAV).

LOS Wind
Finite Line-of-Sight (LOS) wind will change the zero shift position.
The zero shift position for zero wind
is known to ± <0.1 m/s due to knowledge of SC velocity (± <<1m/s) and attitude (± <3
arcsec). Also, precise attitude knowledge permits statistical
calibration in orbit.

The “Shift/Angle” Scale
Spectrally close lines (such as Lambda doublets for nitric oxide)
provide the measure of “shift/angle” scale.
The observed angle separating doublet DIP features is proportional to
relative AT air speed, which is proportional to SC velocity plus AT
wind.

Typically a narrow slit, observing at a 45° degree angle to the spacecraft velocity vector, creates a spectrum that is used to deduce LOS Wind. The slit observations
are averaged from 150 km to sometimes over 700 km to obtain required S/N, producing an average wind over those same along-track distances.

DWTS Measurement SystemAs the atmospheric limb air passes through the DWTS FOV, it is observed with 10 km resolution and at 140 different Doppler shifts. This provides the information necessary to infer profiles of wind and temperature (depicted by colored air emerging from the FOV) at a 7 km along-track
spacing with a 10 km along-track resolution.

Summary
DWTS uses Gas Filter Correlation Radiometry and a simple, moderately cooled, static MIR camera to measure Wind and Temperature
from cloud-top to over 200 km day and night.
Considering cost, global coverage, continuity, spatial resolution, diurnal
capability, altitude range and simultaneity of Wind and Temperature, DWTS is projected to advance our capability of remotely sensing
upper atmosphere wind and temperature by more than 3 orders of magnitude.
