Abstract: A room-temperature broadband FTS was designed for the characterization of the Earth outgoing flux in the FIR spectral range with a resolution of half wavenumber. Laboratory characterization and field measurements (ground-based and balloon) are shown. (WEB page: http://radiation.ifac.cnr.it).
