What Does SWIRLS Stand For?
SWIRLS stands for Stratospheric Wind Infrared Limb Sounder
SWIRLS, or Stratospheric Wind Infrared Limb Sounder, is an advanced satellite instrument designed to measure wind profiles in the stratosphere using infrared signals. By analyzing the limb-viewing radiance of atmospheric gases, SWIRLS provides critical data on stratospheric dynamics and contributes to the understanding of weather patterns, climate change, and the transport of atmospheric constituents. Its innovative technology enhances the accuracy of atmospheric models and supports improved forecasting capabilities.
