AIRS + OMI#
These products are retrieved from collocated AIRS and OMI) measurements via the Optimal estimation method.
Standard Products#
TIR == Thermal Infrared
UV == Ultraviolet
AIRS Only (TIR)#
Air Temperature (TATM) - Air temperature at different pressure levels / altitudes
Ammonia (NH3) - Vertical distribution of ammonia
Carbon monoxide (CO) - Vertical distribution of carbon monoxide
Methane (CH4) - Vertical distribution of methane
Ozone (O3) - AIRS - Vertical distribution of ozone, retrieved only from AIRS measurements
Semi-heavy water vapor (HDO) - Vertical distribution of semi-heavy water vapor
Water vapor (H2O) - Vertical distribution of water vapor
OMI Only (UV)#
Ozone (O3) - OMI - Vertical distribution of of ozone, retrieved only from OMI measurements
AIRS + OMI Joint Retrieval (TIR + UV)#
Ozone (O3) - AIRS+OMI - Vertical distribution of of ozone, retrieved from combined AIRS and OMI measurements, as opposed to AIRS Only and OMI Only
Summary Products#
TIR == Thermal Infrared
UV == Ultraviolet
AIRS Only (TIR)#
Ammonia (NH3) - Vertically integrated total column
Carbon monoxide (CO) - Column-averaged dry air mixing ratio from the surface to the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA), also known as XCO
Methane (CH4) - Column-averaged dry air mixing ratio for the partial column between 826 hPa and the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA), also known as free tropospheric XCH4
Ozone (O3) - AIRS - Vertically integrated total column and tropospheric column
Semi-heavy water vapor (HDO / Delta-D) - Partial column between 850 and 250 hPa, expressed in parts per thousand relative to the deuterium content of ocean waters (also known as Delta-D)
OMI Only (UV)#
Ozone (O3) - OMI - Vertically integrated total column and tropospheric column
AIRS + OMI Joint Retrieval (TIR + UV)#
Ozone (O3) - AIRS+OMI - Vertically integrated total column and tropospheric column
