Calibration and Validation Status of AIRS Products

This data set consists of Level1B radiance data, Level 2 and Level 3 Products derived from the AIRS/AMSU-A/HSB system on Earth Observing System (EOS) polar orbiting platform, EOS Aqua. Global coverage will be obtained twice daily (day and night) on a 1:30 p.m. sun-synchronous orbit from a 705-km altitude. For processing convenience, the data along the orbit will be divided into 6-minute scenes.
