Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important pervasive atmospheric trace gas affecting climate
and more than 50% of air pollution nationwide and worldwide, which also plays as a
significant indirect greenhouse gases due to its influences on the budgets of hydroxyl
radicals (OH) and ozone (O3). We present a study on Atmosphere Infrared Sounder (AIRS),
onboard NASA's Aqua Satellite, detection of CO emission from large forest fire in the year
2005 in the Sumatra, Indonesia. AIRS daily coverage of 70% of the planet symbolizes an
important evolutionary advance in satellite trace gas remote sensing. AIRS is one of several
instruments onboard the Earth Observing System (EOS) launched on May 4, 2002, with its
two companions microwave instruments the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)
and the Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB) form the integrated atmospheric sounding
system. AIRS providing new insights into weather and climate for the 21st century, as well
as AIRS’ channels include spectral features of the key carbon trace gases CO2,
methane(CH4), and CO. AIRS is an infrared spectrometer/radiometer that covers the 3.7–
15.4 m spectral range with 2378 spectral channels.
