    description:  Instrument Type: sounder, Operational Mode: cross-track, Collection Type: continuous scan, Other Information: The IFOV of the HIRS/2 channels are stepped across the satellite track by use of a rotating mirror. This cross-track scan, combined with the satellite's motion in orbit, will provide coverage of a major portion of the Earth's surface.
