Aqua AIRS Version 6 Level 3 Data Release
Aqua AIRS Version 6 Level 3 Data Release
Submitted by Heather Hanson on Wed, 2013-05-08 09:28
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) Project and NASA’s Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) are pleased to announce the availability of Aqua AIRS Version 6 Level 3 data. The AIRS Version 6 processing code has a number of improvements in addition to the Level 2 improvements from which it is built.
Significant changes include:
• Level 3 support products, which contain profile data at 100 vertical levels;
• a “TqJoint” grid, which contains gridded data for a common set of temperature and water vapor observations; and
• water vapor and trace gas products that are now reported both as layer and level quantities.
