The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on Aqua: instrument stability and data products for climate observations
30th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Environment (ISRSE) NASA Honolulu, Hawaii, USAThis paper discusses the stability of the AIRS instrument as measured pre-flight and in-orbit. In order differentiate instrument related changes with true changes in climate observations, the instrument stability must be demonstrated.
Sea surface temperature measurements with AIRS
The comparison of global sea surface skin temperature derived from cloud-free AIRS super window channel at 2616 cm-1 (sst2616) with the Real-Time Global Sea Surface Temperature for September 2002 shows surprisingly small standard deviation of 0.44K.

Infrared remote sensing in the presence of clouds with AIRS-AMSU-HSB
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and its two companion instruments (AMSU) and (HSB) are designed to provide atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles with radiosonde accuracty. The performance of AIRS since launch on Aqua has been exceptional indicating that it will meet or exceed its objectives.
Operational readiness for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the earth observing system aqua spacecraft
This paper describes the AIRS science objectives, the instrument design and operation, the in-flight operational scenario, and the calibration plan. All aspects of the program are addressed here to demonstrate that the AIRS program is ready to transition to the flight segment of the program.

AIRS Level 1b Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document
The level 1b Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) describes the theoretical bases of the algorithms used to convert the raw detector output (data numbers) from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) and Humidity Sounder Brazil (HSB) to physical radiance units and, in the case of AIRS, perform in-orbit spectral calibrations.
AIRS-Team Retrieval For Core Products and Geophysical Parameters-Level 2
The algorithm described in this document will be implemented as the AIRS Level 2 Product Generation Executive (PGE) at the Goddard Space Flight Center Distributed Active Archive Center.
