CAMEX-3 Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI)

The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) was used to make atmospheric temperature and moisture retrievals. AERI provides absolutely calibrated radiances which can be used for forward calculation comparisons of radiosonde and LIDAR (for CAMEX-3, the SRL) profiles and provides a reference to the airborne and ground based remote sensing instruments. Additionally, AERI radiances contain valuable temperature and water vapor information which can be used to retrieve planetary boundary layer thermodynamics.

AERI was located on Andros Island during the CAMEX-3 campaign, and operated nearly every night throughout the period 6 Aug-23 Sep 98.

Browse imagery for the AERI instrument and supporting soundings, are available on the CAMEX-3 page at CAMEX-3 Data.. These data and images may be downloaded directly from that page, or may be requested via E-mail from ghrc@eos.nasa.gov.
