The Geostationary Interferometer Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) provides more infrared spectral bands at high spatial and temporal resolution for the estimation of total column and ozone profiles than the current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) I-M series. GIFTS ozone estimates are much more accurate than the estimates that the current GOES provides. The overall improvements that GIFTS provides to ozone detection using the infrared are explored. Simulations of ozone estimates for GIFTS, GOES I-M, and the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) are compared. Application of the ozone estimation algorithm to other infrared hyperspectral platforms, namely the Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES) on the next generation GOES-R satellite, are discussed.
