Abstract

The AIRS instrument (Auroral Ionospheric Remote Sensor) was launched into a 1000 km polar orbit aboard the Polar BEAR satellite on 13 November 1986. Optical data from AIRS are obtained at two vacuum ultraviolet wavelengths at the output of a grating monochromator and from two ultraviolet-visible wavelengths at the output of fixed filter photometers. Normally data are transmitted when the satellite is above 45 degrees North latitude; the primary receiving sites are permanent stations at Tromso, Norway and Sondrestrom, Greenland and a portable station often sited near Seattle, Washington, USA. During its first year of operation AIRS has provided imaging data at fixed wavelengths or nadir looking spectrometer data from the vacuum ultraviolet and simultaneous imaging or photometric data from the fixed filters.
