This shows the ascending data (day-time) for the current AIRS focus day of 20 July 2002. The image is of a longwave window channel brightness temperature (using a GOES colormap), along with various sample spectra.

Weve had global observations of high spectral resolution before (IRIS and IMG), but they were not really atmospheric profile sounders. The AIRS data is very clean, and the applications are numerous. This is what many of us have been waiting for, and working towards for many years. There are many un-tapped opportunities: SO2 detection from volcanoes, the blue-spike fire detection, new cloud detection techniques, low level inversion detection for severe weather, new spectroscopy investigations, climate change signatures,
