AIRS data products

AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) data products are detailed measurements collected from a satellite that monitor Earth's atmosphere. They provide information about temperature, humidity, clouds, and greenhouse gases at different altitudes. This data helps scientists understand weather patterns, climate change, and atmospheric processes, improving weather forecasts and climate models. Essentially, AIRS acts like a high-tech "thermometer" and "humidity gauge" from space, offering vital insights into the state of our atmosphere to support research and decision-making related to the environment and weather.
