What Does AIRS Stand For?
AIRS stands for Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder EOS
AIRS, or Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder EOS, is an advanced instrument onboard NASA's Aqua satellite that measures atmospheric temperature, humidity, and trace gases. Utilizing infrared spectroscopy, AIRS provides high-resolution data that enhances our understanding of weather patterns, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena. Its contributions are vital for improving weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and studying atmospheric processes on a global scale.
