Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor Satellite
ACRIMSAT measures the changes in the amount of the sun's energy that reaches Earth's atmosphere.

ACRIMSAT measures the changes in the amount of the sun’s energy that reaches Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists use data from the instruments to learn how solar energy affects Earth’s winds, heats the land and drives ocean currents, all of which affect Earth’s weather and climate. The data help researchers create global climate models and study solar physics. > Read More
