Product Description

AIRS Carbon Dioxide Product

AIRS measures the distribution of carbon dioxide in the mid troposphere at a nadir resolution of 90 km x 90 km. The AIRS broad swath makes it able to map the global distribution of carbon dioxide every day. The high spectral resolution and stability of AIRS give it extremely high measurement accuracy (about 1.2 ppm) making it ideal for trending carbon dioxide levels and the global distribution.
