Title:
CrIS Sensor Data Records reduced spectral samples - Suomi-NPP
Created:

Detailed information
Product description:
The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), a Fourier transform spectrometer with 1305 spectral channels, produces high-resolution, three-dimensional temperature, pressure, and moisture profiles. These profiles are used to enhance weather forecasting models, and to facilitate both short- and long-term weather forecasting. Over longer timescales, they will help improve understanding of climate phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña. A subset of spectral channels only are included in order to reduce data volume. As of 12 March 2013, this product includes cloud data from the VIIRS instrument onboard Suomi NPP. The VIIRS instrument has a 22-band radiometer similar to the MODIS instrument. It collects visible and infrared views of Earth's dynamic surface processes, such as wildfires, land changes, and ice movement. VIIRS also measures atmospheric and oceanic properties, including clouds and sea surface temperature. (CURRENTLY THE DATA ARE FOR EVALUATION ONLY)
