GPM MHS on METOP-A Common Calibrated Brightness Temperature L1C 1.5 hours 17 km V08 (GPM_1CMETOPAMHS)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/gpm/mhs/metopa/1c/08
Version 08 is the current version of the data set.
Description
Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 08. All 1C products have a common L1C data structure, simple and generic.
Each L1C swath includes scan time, latitude and longitude, scan status, quality, incidence angle, Sun glint angle, and the intercalibrated brightness temperature (Tc). One or more swaths are included in a product. The radiometer data are recalibrated to a common basis so that precipitation products derived from them are consistent. 1CMHS contains common calibrated brightness temperature from the MHS passive microwave instrument flown on the NOAA and METOPS satellites.

Swath S1 is the only swath and has 5 channels (89.0GHzV, 157.0GHzV, 183.3GHz+/-250MHzH, 183.3GHz+/- 500MHzH, and 190.3 GHzV). MHS is very similar to AMSU-B. The scan period is 2.667s. MHS geometric footrpints are: 16km x 16km for (89, 157, 183.31, and two channels near 183 GHz and 190.311 GHz).
GPM Project cross-calibrates all channels at spatial sampling: 16x16 km.
