Sample data readers written in IDL, MATLAB, FORTRAN and C.





Algorithms

Level 1B and Level 2 Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs).





Direct Broadcast

An X-band direct broadcast service where data from all science instruments on the Aqua spacecraft (including AIRS) is downlinked to the Earth in near real-time.





Assimilation

Coming soon.





Validation

How do we know if the AIRS measurements are accurate? Validation attempts to answer this question.





The Skew-T Plotting Tool for AIRS Data

The skew-T plot is a meteorological thermodynamic chart on which pressure, density, temperature, and water vapor are plotted for a point on the Earth up through the atmosphere.
