AIRS

AIRS, or Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, is a sophisticated instrument onboard a satellite that measures Earth's atmospheric temperature, humidity, and other gases. It captures detailed infrared images of the atmosphere, helping scientists understand weather patterns, track climate change, and monitor natural phenomena like storms and pollution. By analyzing these measurements, AIRS provides critical data to improve weather forecasts and study how Earth's climate is changing, making it a vital tool for atmospheric science and environmental monitoring.
