Quality

The MLS NRT data are not as accurate as the retrievals that constitute the standard MLS products, but nevertheless the results are of scientific use and track the standard MLS products with reasonable fidelity. NRT water vapor profiles are only recommended for scientific use at pressure levels from 316 hPa to 0.00215 hPa.
