    • Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) Simulated High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) Radiances, Version 2b

    Metadata Updated: November 2, 2023

    The dataset includes radiances for HIRS channels 1-12 that are simulated from IASI swath measurements on Metop-A, B, and C, at the spatial resolution of the original IASI pixel resolution. It is an intermediate product of the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of IR Sounder Upper Tropospheric Humidity BT, Version 4.0. The dataset has a global coverage.
