Viewing the ACRIM Instrument on UARS

Visualizations by Jesse Allen Released on April 9, 1999

To understand the solar effects on the ozone layer, UARS was equipped with three instruments to measure the sun. One of them, the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor, ACRIM, measures the total energy output from the sun.
