Scientific paper
The scientific objectives and the instrumentation of the Polar BEAR's Auroral and Ionospheric Remote Sensing (AIRS) experiment are described together with the techniques employed for global imaging and the results of preliminary observations. The AIRS four-color imager covers selected wavelengths in the visible/near UV and vacuum UV (VUV) ranges. The AIRS experiment also has advantages of narrow 3.0-nm VUV bandpath imaging, not possible with the use of interference filters, and of three alternative modes of operation (imaging, spectrometer, or photometer), possible by controlling the scan mirror and the spectrometer gridding motor. Because of the satellite's high altitude (about 1000 km), most of the auroral oval can be imaged.
