Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Planet Tanager-1 is a hyperspectral imaging satellite that carries an imaging spectrometer capable of measuring light across hundreds of narrow wavelength bands rather than the few broad bands used by conventional cameras. This fine spectral resolution lets it identify and quantify specific gases, such as methane and carbon dioxide, escaping from individual facilities on the ground, distinguishing point-source emissions from the surrounding landscape.
