More Accurate and Timely Forecasting
Our Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) measures 3D temperature and moisture profiles from many levels of the atmosphere to support more accurate prediction modeling. CrIS data helps pinpoint hurricane track and intensity, reducing the cone of uncertainty and providing vital time to plan and prepare.

Built to Evolve
With unprecedented speed and accuracy, L3Harris’ Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) simultaneously scans the entire western hemisphere every 10 minutes, the continental United States every five minutes and areas of rapidly developing storms every 30 seconds. Its flexibility enables us to develop even more powerful imaging technology to meet future demands.
