Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)NASA is building a new instrument, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), to make highly accurate measurements of air temperature, humidity, clouds, and surface temperature. The data collected by AIRS will be used by scientists around the world to better understand weather and climate, and by the National Weather Service and NOAA to improve the accuracy of their weather and climate models. AIRS will fly aboard the AQUA spacecraft of the Earth Observing System (EOS), scheduled for launch early in the twenty-first century. AIRS before shipment to TRW for integration to the spacecraft.
