MLS/Aura Level 3 Monthly Binned Water Vapor (H2O) Mixing Ratio on Assorted Grids V005 (ML3MBH2O)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/aura/mls/data/3538
ML3MBH2O is the EOS Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) monthly binned on various vertical grids product for water vapor (H2O) derived from radiances measured primarily by the 190 GHz radiometer.
Description
The data version is 5.1. Spatial coverage is near-global (-82 to +82 degrees latitude) at a spatial resolution of 4 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude.
The recommended useful vertical range is between 316 and 0.00215 hPa, and the vertical resolution is about 1.5 km at 316 hPa increasing to 3.5 km to 4.64 hPa, and degrades to 15 km above 0.1 hPa. Users of the ML3MBH2O data product should read chapter 4 and section 3.9 of the EOS MLS Level 2 Version 5 Quality Document for more information. The data files are archived in the netCDF4 format, which is also compatible with HDF5 readers and tools.

Each file contains six group objects: lat-lon map vs pressure, lat vs pressure zonal mean, lat-lon map vs theta, lat vs theta zonal mean, equivalent lat vs theta zonal mean, and vortex average vs theta. Each group has a set of data (average, min, max, std dev, rms) and geolocation fields, grid attributes, and metadata.
