Automated interferometer AERI

infrared

The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer, or AERI™, is a ruggedized automated sounding spectroradiometer system for unattended operations in hostile ambient conditions. It measures absolute down-welling atmospheric emitted infrared radiance with high accuracy. Coupled with specialized algorithms, this remote sensing tool can work year-round during both day and night (except during precipitation), continuously providing temperature and humidity as other atmospheric variables profiles every 8 minutes. Applications Weather forecasting Cloud and aerosol studies Air quality monitoring (pollution) Airport monitoring, etc. Features Mature technology: some installed systems have been continuously in operation for more than fifteen years High radiometric accuracy and reproducibility allowing network operation Wavelength accuracy with high spectral resolution High sensitivity Fast scanning capability with real-time spectral processing Benefits NIST traceable radiometry Operation under all climates (Arctic to tropics and even marine) Unattended operation No consumable In field replacement of the Stirling cooler and metrology laser ITAR Free
