Additionally, the AIRS technology has been used to conduct
atmospheric research missions, high - altitude mapping, remote sensing operations and more.
Mission leaders were relieved and eager to begin their studies of cloud and haze effects, which «constitute the largest uncertainties in our models of future climate — that's no exaggeration,» says Jens Redemann, an
atmospheric scientist at NASA's Ames
Research Center in Mountain View, California, and the principal investigator for ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their IntEractionS (ORACLES).
