  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006546",
  "term": "Infrared spectrometer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument designed to measure the intensity of infrared radiation as a function of wavelength. In atmospheric science, these devices are used to identify and quantify atmospheric gases by analyzing their unique absorption and emission spectra in the infrared region. Satellite-based infrared spectrometers provide global measurements of temperature, humidity, and trace gas concentrations.",
