MSPPS Orbital Data
Entry ID: gov.noaa.class.MSPPS_ORB

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Microwave Surface and Precipitation Products System (MSPPS) produces near real-time operational surface and precipitation products from the AMSU-A, AMSU-B and MHS instruments aboard NOAA and METOP satellites. The operational products include Antenna Temperatures, Total Precipitable Water, Cloud Liquid Water, Sea Ice Concentration, Land Surface Temperature, Land Surface Emissivity at ... View entire text

Purpose: PURPOSE: The purpose of MSPPS is to produce near-real-time operational surface and precipitation products from the AMSU-A, AMSU-B and MHS instruments.

Quality LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Since similar products are produced from the SSM/I, NESDIS/ORA has more than a decade of experience in SSM/I product verification and validation. Thus, for all products, comparable SSM/I products are one verification source. SSM/I data are used both for near-real time product monitoring and for product validation and verification. An ever-increasing suite of in-situ, ... View entire text
