NOAA Climate Data Records (CDR) of AMSU-A/B and MHS Hydrological Properties, Version 1
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The NOAA Hydrological Properties for Applications Thematic Climate Data Record (TCDR) consist of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A), Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) data to help with the long term monitoring of the global water cycle.
Description
The data cover a time period from 1998 to 2010, at roughly a 48 km (AMSU-A) and a 16 km resolution (AMSU-B/MHS) resolution over the entire globe with 30 (AMSU-A) and 90 (AMSU-B/MHS) observations per scan.
Visual inspections and verification of the various corrections were applied to the data to improve data accuracy. AMSU-A TCDR variables consist of Total Precipitable Water (TPW), Cloud Liquid Water (CLW), Sea-Ice concentration (SIC), Land surface temperature (LST), Land surface emissivity (23, 31, 50 GHz) (LSE). AMSU-B/MHS TCDR variables consist of Ice water path (IWP), rain rate (RR), snow cover (SC) and snow water equivalent (SWE).

The data are ideal for helping with things like validating climate model simulations; identifying climate extremes; validating other observations and more.
