Definition

  • [Source: NPOESS home page: http://npoess.noaa.gov/index.php?pg=crimss ] The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) combined with the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) globally produces atmospheric temperature, moisture and pressure profiles from space. CrIS and ATMS (CrIMSS) are the next generation operational sensor suite selected to fly on the National Polar- orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) spacecraft. CrIMSS will operationally produce high vertical resolution profile measurements of temperature, water vapor, and pressure. Combining both cross-track infrared and microwave sensors aboard the NPOESS satellite provides key Environmental Data Records (EDRs) CrIMSSMission Products Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: CRIMSS Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: Earth Remote Sensing Instruments Instrument_Class: Passive Remote Sensing Instrument_Type: Profilers/Sounders Short_Name: CRIMSS Long_Name: Cross-track Infrared and Advanced Technology Microwave Sounders End_Group Group: Instrument_Associated_Sensors Short_Name: ATMS Short_Name: CRIS-NPOESS End_Group Group: Associated_Platforms Short_Name: SUOMI-NPP Short_Name: JPSS-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Coverage_Range: LWIR Band 650-1095 cm-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Coverage_Range: MWIR Band 1210-1750 cm-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Coverage_Range: SWIR Band 2155-2550 cm-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Resolution: LWIR Band < 0.625 cm-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Resolution: MWIR Band < 1.25 cm-1 End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Spectral_Frequency_Resolution: SWIR Band < 2.50 cm-1 End_Group Online_Resource: http://npoess.noaa.gov/index.php?pg=instr Online_Resource: http://npp.gsfc.nasa.gov/cris.html Online_Resource: http://npp.gsfc.nasa.gov/atms.html Creation_Date: 2008-11-14 Group: Instrument_Logistics Instrument_Owner: USA/NOAA Instrument_Owner: USA/NASA End_Group End_Group (en)
