IMG instrument: Interferometric Monitor for Greenhouse Gases

Presentation

This instrument was developed by JAROS (Japan Resources Observation System Organisation) on behalf of MITI (the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry). It was launched on the ADEOS 1 satellite on 17 August 1996. It was a Fourier transform infrared interferometer for collecting and processing emission and absorption spectra from the Earth's surface and atmosphere in the thermal infrared range.
