NOAA Fundamental Climate Data Record (CDR) of AMSU-B and MHS Brightness Temperature, Version 1
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) brightness temperature (Tb) in "window channels" and "water vapor" channels.
Description
The data cover a time period from 1998 to 2010. The data is roughly at 16 km resolution over the entire globe with 90 observations per scan using channels - 89, 150, 157, 183 +/- 1, 183 +/- 3, 183 +/- 7, 190 GHz.
The AMSU-B sensor was flown on NOAA-15, -16, and -17 satellites. The MHS sensor was flown on NOAA-18, -19 and MetOp-A satellites and replaced the AMSU-B sensor (which has very similar attributes) and was flown on NOAA-15, -16 and -17. Visual inspections and verification of the various corrections were applied to the data to improve data accuracy.
