What Does HIRS Stand For?
HIRS stands for High Infrared Radiometer Or Radiation Sounder
HIRS, or High Infrared Radiometer or Radiation Sounder, is an advanced remote sensing instrument designed for atmospheric profiling and monitoring. It operates by measuring infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface and atmosphere, providing critical data for weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental studies. HIRS enhances our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and contributes to improved predictive models through its precise and high-resolution measurements of temperature, humidity, and other key atmospheric variables.
