AIRS Science News
29 New Publications in 3 Months
A host of new publications that make use of AIRS data have been published in the past three months. With subjects that span the range from upper troposphere humidity to mean carbon dioxide concentration, and from hurricane forecasting to analyzing the eruption of the Chaiten volcano, the wide variety of data products available from the AIRS instrument is demonstrating itself in the scope of these research topics. These publications are listed below.
The AIRS Project wishes to thank all the authors for their outstanding work.
