Early calibration results from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on Aqua

This paper summarizes the AIRS instrument radiometric, spatial, and spectral performance as measured in orbit during the A&E phase. Instrument noise performance, spectral alignment dependence on temperature and other factors, and spatial pointing accuracy are discussed.

On-board calibration techniques and test results for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a space based instrument developed for measurement of global atmospheric properties; primarily water vapor and temperature. The on-board calibration subsystems are described along with a description of special test procedures for using them and results from several tests performed to date.
