What Does AIRS Stand For?
AIRS stands for Atmospheric Infrared Sounder
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a high-resolution satellite instrument designed to measure the Earth's atmospheric properties. Utilizing infrared spectroscopy, AIRS provides detailed data on temperature, humidity, and gas concentrations in the atmosphere, enhancing weather forecasting and climate research. By capturing thermal emissions from the Earth and its atmosphere, AIRS contributes to a better understanding of atmospheric processes and helps improve predictive models for weather and climate change.
