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.
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
