We propose a novel method for lossless compression of ultraspectral sounder data. The spectral utilizes linear prediction and the optimal ordering of the granules. The prediction coefficients for a granule are computed using prediction coefficients that are optimized using a different granule. The optimal ordering problem is solved using Edmonds 's algorithm branching. optimum show results that...

JPL’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument is based on a cryogenically cooled infrared spectrometer that uses a pair of pulse tube cryocoolers operating at 55 K to cool the HgCdTe focal plane to 58 K; the instrument also includes cryoradiators at 150 K and 190 K to cool the overall optical bench to 150 K. The cryocooler system design is a key part of the instrument development and foc...

AIRS, a resource limited artificial immune classifier system, has performed well on elementary classification tasks. This paper proposes the use of this system for the more complex task of hierarchical, multi-class document classification. This information can then be applied to the realm of taxonomy mapping, an active research area with far reaching implications. Our motivation comes from the ...
