AIRS Validation Sonde Support

1 November 2003 - 28 February 2004

Lead Scientist: Ted Cress

Observatory: sgp, sgp

ARM conducted a special series of radiosonde launches in support of validation studies for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite (http://www-airs.jpl.nasa.gov). The AIRS instrument was intended to make highly accurate measurements of air temperature, humidity, clouds, and surface temperature. The data collected by AIRS was used by scientists around the world to better understand weather and climate.
