Aqua/AIRS L3 Daily Support Product (AIRS+AMSU) 1 degree x 1 degree V7.0 at GES DISC
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a grating spectrometer (R = 1200) aboard the second Earth Observing System (EOS) polar-orbiting platform, EOS Aqua. In combination with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) AIRS constitutes an innovative atmospheric sounding group of infrared and microwave sensors. The L3 support products are similar to the L3 standard products but contain fields which are not fully validated, or are inputs or intermediary values. The value for each grid box is the sum of the values that fall within the 1x1 area divided by the number of points in the box.

- Quality The quality of data products, described in the associated references, provide information about numerous validation studies conducted and papers written documenting the excellence of the products using radiosondes, ground truth, other satellites, and model analysis products. The value for each grid box is the sum of the values that fall within the 1x1 area divided by the number of points in the box. For AIRS/AMSU: This product stopped after September 24, 2016 as the power to the AMSU-A2 instrument on Aqua was lost. For data after this time use AIRS2RET.7.0 (AIRS-only) .
