What Does HIRS Stand For?
HIRS stands for High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder
HIRS, or High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder, is a sophisticated remote sensing instrument designed to measure infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a crucial role in atmospheric profiling by providing high-resolution data on temperature, humidity, and trace gases, which enhances our understanding of weather patterns and climate dynamics. HIRS is instrumental in improving numerical weather prediction models and contributes significantly to atmospheric research and monitoring efforts.
