NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)-A Brightness Temperature, Version 1
The NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) for Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) brightness temperature in "window channels". The data cover a time period from 1998 to 2015 with preliminary data starting in 2016, updated monthly, at roughly a 48km resolution over the entire globe with 30 observations per scan, using channels 23, 31, 50, 89 GHz. The AMSU-A sensor is flown on NOAA-15, -16, -17, -18, -19 and MetOp-A satellites. Visual inspections and verification of the various corrections were applied to the data to improve data accuracy.
