sounder mode
The process that the radiometer sensors onboard a geosynchronous satellite samples the air temperature at various levels of the atmosphere, based upon the amount of infrared radiation that is emitted from that level.
Sounder: A critical satellite instrument capable of producing a vertical profile of the atmosphere.
Sounding: The vertical distribution of temperature, moisture, wind speed (and direction) over a location.
Sounder- A special kind of radiometer that measures changes in atmospheric temperature with height, as well as the content of various chemical species in the atmosphere at various levels.
Atmospheric Infrared Sounder: advanced sounding instrument designed to retrieve vertical temperature and moisture profiles in the troposphere and stratosphere achieving a temperature retrieval accuracy of 1 degree C with a 1 km vertical ...
Microwave Sounding Unit"(Abbreviated MSU.) One of three sounders that comprise the TIROS- N Operational Vertical Sounder package on NOAA polar orbiter satellites. The primary function is to make temperature soundings in the presence of clouds.
