Computational techniques developed for the reduction and analysis of interferometer and radiometer data from the Balloon Altitude Mosaic Measurements (BAMM) program are presented. Emphasis is given to the reduction and analysis techniques developed for mosaic detector interferometer measurements. The presentation includes discussion of techniques to quality check, edit and simulate radiance values. Statistical analyses performed on simulated radiance data is described and examples of raw and edited data and statistical parameters are given. A brief discussion of radiometer reduction and analysis techniques is presented which includes data editing; filtering and decimation; statistical parameter determination; autocovariance estimation; and Fourier Power Spectral estimation of radiance.
