What Does FILOS Stand For?

FILOS stands for Far Infrared Limb Observing Spectrometer

FILOS, or Far Infrared Limb Observing Spectrometer, is an advanced scientific instrument designed to analyze and measure atmospheric components in the far infrared spectrum. Its primary function is to observe and characterize trace gases and aerosols in the Earth's limb, providing valuable data for climate research, atmospheric dynamics, and the understanding of chemical processes in the atmosphere. By utilizing high-resolution spectroscopy, FILOS contributes to enhanced knowledge of both natural and anthropogenic effects on atmospheric composition.
