A generalized framework for deriving nonparametric standardized drought indicators (2015, methodology): “3, the SPI and SSI are generated using the precipitation and soil moisture from the Modern Era RetrospectiveAnalysis for Research and Applications-Land (MERRA-Land; [44]), whereas the SRHI is derived based on the NASA Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS; [11]) Version 6 relative humidity observations”
Aqua: an Earth-Observing Satellite mission to examine water and other climate variables (2003, background): “Specifically, Aumannet al. [6] provide an instrument overview; Gautieret al. [7] describe the visible and near-infrared portion of the AIRS; Strowet al. [8] describe the p launch spectral calibration; and Gaiseret al. [9] describe the in-flight spectral calibration.”
Improvements to the OMI near-UV aerosol algorithm using A-train CALIOP and AIRS observations (2013, methodology): “Satellite global daily CO measurements are routinely produced by the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) sensor on the Terra satellite (Pan et al., 1998) and by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the Aqua platform (Aumann et al., 2003).”
The assimilation of Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer radiances at ECMWF (2009, background): “AIRS (Aumann et al., 2003), unlike IASI and future operational advanced infrared sounders such as the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), is a grating spectrometer rather than an interferometer but has similar spectral and spatial coverage and resolution to IASI.”
Accuracy of geophysical parameters derived from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit as a function of fractional cloud cover (2006, methodology): “An overview of the AIRS instrument and the objectives for AIRS/AMSU/HSB is a given by Aumann et al. [2003]. The sounding goals of AIRS are to produce 1 km tropospheric layer mean temperatures with an RMS error of 1 K, and layer precipitable water with an RMS error of 20%, in cases with up to 80% eff”
The Future of Earth Observation in Hydrology. (2017, neutral): “Another JPL project is the CubeSat Infrared Atmospheric Sounder (CIRAS), that seeks to match some of the temperature and water vapour profiling capabilities of the AIRS instrument (Aumann et al., 2003), but on a considerably smaller platform.”
Daily global maps of carbon monoxide from NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (2005, neutral): “…monoxide from NASA’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder W. W. McMillan,1,2 C. Barnet,3 L. Strow,1,2 M. T.
