The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the EOS Aqua platform is the first of a new generation of advanced hyperspectral atmospheric sounders with the capability of retrieving temperature and trace gas profiles with high vertical resolution and absolute accuracy. In the past few years ARM has played a major role in the validation of AIRS, including the launch of hundreds of dedicated radiosondes coincident with the Aqua overpasses of the ARM sites. This poster presents a characterization of the accuracy of the AIRS retrievals using the dedicated radiosondes and other ARM data.

This poster will be displayed at the ARM Science Team Meeting.
