What Does CLAES Stand For?

CLAES stands for Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer

CLAES, or Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer, is an advanced optical instrument designed for high-resolution spectral analysis in the infrared range. Utilizing cryogenic technology to minimize thermal noise, CLAES enables precise measurements of atmospheric constituents by analyzing light absorption and emission in the limb of the Earth's atmosphere. This technology is instrumental in atmospheric research, including the study of climate change, air quality, and the chemical composition of various layers of the atmosphere.
