The HEAP MetOp-B retrieval product quality is inconsistent with the HEAP MetOp-C retrieval due to an ancillary lookup table (LUT) is out-of-date. The science team is working on updating the LUT. The resolve date has not been determined. An ESPC notification will be sent out when HEAP MetOp-B retrieval is back. Thanks for your patience.
Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) Sounding Products
Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), is a hyperspectral infrared sounder residing on the European Space Agencys (ESA) MetOp series of polar orbiting satellites. These data are made available to NOAA through the International Joint Polar-Orbiting Operational Satellite System (IJPS) agreement. The first priority of the IASI Product Processing System (PPS) is to generate radiance products that are produced using Level 1C data, which are ingested in a pipeline mode from the European Organization for the Exploitation Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), applied to spectral and spatial sub-setting. The system generates Level 1C Thinned (L1CT) radiance and Level 2 profile products. Currently the IASI level 2 products from MetOp-2 and MetOp-3 satellites include temperature and humidity profiles with a vertical accuracies of 1 degree Kelvin and 10% per 1-km layer respectively, trace gases, and the cloud cleared radiances (CCR) on a global scale and these products are available to the operational user community. There are two time periods available for each group of data: The data are separated into the following groups: Retrieved Parameters Surface Properties, Satellite Info, and Retrieval Flags Cloud Top Properties Other Parameters |
