TL;DR: The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) as mentioned in this paper provides simultaneous spectra and images of the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona with 0.33 arcsec and up.

TL;DR: The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) as mentioned in this paper is a small explorer spacecraft that provides simultaneous spectra and images of the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona with 0.33-0.4 arcsec spatial resolution, 2 s temporal resolution and 1 km/s velocity resolution over a field-of-view of up to 175 arcsec.

TL;DR: Remote sensing is a rich topic due to its utility in gathering detailed accurate information from locations that are not economically feasible traveling destinations or are physically inaccessible, however, poor visibility over long path lengths is problematic for a variety of reasons and is the focus of this article.

TL;DR: In this article, a signal processor coupled with a polarimeter is used to determine a peak and a valley angle for the input image based on the plural Stokes values, where the peak angle corresponds to an angle at which the image had the most amount of light scatter passing therethrough, and the valley angle correspond to an Angle at which it had the least amount of data passing there through.

TL;DR: The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) as discussed by the authors is a NASA SMall Explorer mission scheduled for launch in January 2019, which combines advanced numerical modeling with a high resolution UV imaging spectrograph.
