Sounder SIPS: Suomi NPP CrIMSS Level 2 SiFSAP Support: Atmosphere cloud and surface geophysical state per footprint V2 at GES DISC
This level 2 support product is generated by the SiFSAP (Single Field-of-View Sounder Atmospheric Products) algorithm. The SIFSAP algorithm provides retrieval for each sounder Field of View (FOV), therefore, it has 3-times higher horizontal spatial resolution and 9-time denser products compared to other current IR sounder products. Since SiFSAP is an FOV-based algorithm, its product variables have an additional dimension which represents the number of FOVs. For CrIS instrument, there are 9 FOVs for each Field of Regard (FOR). The SiFSAP Level-2 retrieval products contain a variety of geophysical parameters retrieved from IR/MW sounder suites measurements, including profiles of temperature, water vapor and trace gas species as well as clouds and surface properties. This support product provides height vertical sampling (up to 98 levels) and also includes more detailed Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) information like averaging kernels. A level 2 granule has been set as 6 minutes of data. There are 240 granules per day, with an orbit repeat cycle of approximately 16 day.
