The Earth's radiative energy balance between absorbed incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave emission is expected to remain in balance as the planet maintains equilibrium. However, we are not clear about the speed with which this balance is maintained as a result of perturbations. In addition to the information about clouds and their processes that may be found within measurements of the integrated flux emitted by the Earth, if we can observe the spectrally resolved fluxes, then we have access to much more detailed information, about greenhouse gas absorption, cloud, lower atmosphere and surface effects. In this paper we will review work in the Imperial College group on the analysis of IR spectra of the Earth measured from orbiting spacecraft. The talk will include clear sky and cloudy sky studies, and will address a number of issues, such as the sampling problem. Studies using new space instruments such as AIRS will also be reviewed.
