Link: VIEW PROJECT HOME PAGE Description: AIRS home page at NASA/JPL. General information on the AIRS instrument suite, algorithms, and other AIRS-related activities can be found. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument suite is designed to measure the Earth's atmospheric water vapor and temperature profiles on a global scale. It is comprised of a space-based hyperspectral infrared instrument (AIRS) and two multichannel microwave instruments, the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A) and the Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB).
