AIRS' observations from Earth orbit show high-altitude concentrations of the gas that are more than 10 times typical amounts.

Aircraft find atmospheric gravity waves bending toward Antarctica’s polar vortex, and data from AIRS are used to help trace the waves.

A new technique uses AIRS data to improve storm forecasting.

Using ground and satellite data, scientists found that human activity is causing a significant increase in dry air over the Amazon rainforest.

AIRS Project Scientist Eric Fetzer discusses climate trends the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder instrument has detected over the past 17 years.

A new assessment reveals that NASA’s estimate of Earth's long-term temperature rise in recent decades is accurate to within less than a tenth of a degree Fahrenheit, providing confidence that past and future research is correctly capturing rising surface temperatures.
