I need some reliable data source for surface relative humidity , I was checking AQUA AIRS but I am not sure what all Relative humidity data sets contain there. Can you please help with some data source for surface relative humidity data especially available over ASIA .

Are you interested in using an AIRS Level 2 or Level 3 surface relative humidity? The Level 2 variable is called "RelHumSurf" and the Level 3 variable is called "RelHumSurf_A" or "RelHumSurf_D" for the ascending or descending parts of the orbit. More information about these datasets is available on the dataset landing pages which you can get to by using the links in the following dataset citations. If you use the Level 2 data please remember to apply the relevant quality flag "RelHumSurf_QC".
