Aqua/AIRS L2 Standard Physical Retrieval (AIRS-only) V7.0
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/vp1m6og1x7m1
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a grating spectrometer (R = 1200) aboard the second Earth Observing System (EOS) polar-orbiting platform, EOS Aqua.
Description
In combination with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) and the Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB), AIRS constitutes an innovative atmospheric sounding group of visible, infrared, and microwave sensors. This product is similar to AIRX2RET.
It produced using AIRS IR only because the radiometric noise in several AMSU channels began increase significantly (since June 2007). The AIRS Standard Retrieval Product consists of retrieved estimates of cloud and surface properties, plus profiles of retrieved temperature, water vapor, ozone, carbon monoxide and methane. Estimates of the errors associated with these quantities is also part of the Standard Product.

The temperature profile vertical resolution is 28 levels total between 1100 mb and 0.1 mb, while moisture profile is reported at 14 atmospheric layers between 1100 mb and 50 mb. The horizontal resolution is 50 km for AMSU, and 13.5 for an IR footprint. An AIRS granule has been set as 6 minutes of data, 30 footprints cross track by 45 lines along track.
There are 240 granules per day, with an orbit repeat cycle of approximately 16 day.
