    Polar Radiant Energy in the Far InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) Satellite 2 Raw Curated Radiance R01

    Metadata Updated: February 21, 2025

    Polar Radiant Energy in the Far InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) Satellite 2 Raw Curated Radiance (PREFIRE_SAT2_0-PAYLOAD-TLM) contains the curated raw measurements from one of two PREFIRE Thermal Infrared Spectrometers (TIRS-PREFIRE), which is a push broom spectrometer with 63 channels measuring mid- and far-infrared (FIR) radiation from approximately 5 to 53 µm. Most polar emissions are in the FIR but have not been measured on a large scale. PREFIRE aims to fill knowledge gaps in the global energy budget by more accurately characterizing polar emissions. This information will then be assimilated into global circulation and other climate models to predict future climates more accurately.

    This collection contains the raw, curated digital number counts for TIRS-PREFIRE aboard PREFIRE Satellite 2 (PREFIRE-SAT2). Data retrieval started in May TBD, 2024, and is ongoing. Geographic coverage is global, with the greatest concentration of data in the polar regions. This data has a temporal resolution of 0.707 seconds and is available in binary format.

    Raw, curated digital number counts for the sister instrument aboard PREFIRE-SAT1 can be found in the PREFIRE_SAT1_0-PAYLOAD-TLM collection.
