Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer Level 1C
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.class.IASI_L1C
Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer is flown on METOP-A. The main goal is to provide atmospheric emission spectra to derive temperature and humidity profiles with high vertical resolution and accuracy. It is a Michelson interferometer with spectral coverage between 3.6 and 15.5 micrometers. At nadir, the instrument samples data at intervals of 25 km along and a cross track, each sample having a maximum diameter of about 12 km. The level 1C data is geo-located, calibrated and apodized.
CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: ground condition Electronic download (FTP) of the data is free. There is a fee for copies of data on physical media. Optical disks are $25.00 per unit and magnetic tape is $100 per unit. Price does not include additional service and handling costs. Purpose: PURPOSE: For radiance and retrieval assimilations into numerical weather prediction models.
