hyperspectral sounder
Hyperspectral sounding systems in earth-orbiting satellites measure the Earth?s radiated energy in hundreds or thousands of narrow bandwidth channels, most frequently in the infrared. When these measurements are conducted over a range of wavelengths having slightly different absorption characteristics, the observations can be used to generate high resolution vertical profiles of temperature and humidity.
