The Microscale Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution Sensor (MicroMAPS) is an airborne infrared radiometer originally designed to match the capabilities of the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS) sensor. It is a gas filter correlation infrared radiometer operating at 4.67 μm to detect trace atmospheric gases. It is primarily used to detect carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxide (N2O), but it can also detect methane (CH4), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). MicroMAPS has a spatial resolution of 53 m per km of flight altitude and a spectral resolution of 0.1 nm.
