Featured Atmospheric Temperature Observation Method: MLS
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) is radiometer and spectrometer that measures microwave thermal emission from the edge, or "limb," of Earth’s atmosphere. The MLS can measure vertical profiles of the atmosphere including temperature. The instrument acquires data globally day and night and can do so in the presence ice clouds and aerosols that would interfere with measurements from other devices.
