  "term": "Selective Chopper Radiometer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument designed to measure atmospheric temperature profiles by observing infrared radiation emitted by carbon dioxide. It uses a rotating chopper wheel to alternately view different atmospheric layers, allowing for selective measurement of radiation from specific altitudes. This technique is employed on satellites for remote sensing of the atmosphere.",
