AMSU-B Microwave Humidity Sounder Climate Data Record Release 1 - NOAA

Abstract:
Release 1 of the Fundamental Climate Data Record (FCDR) of the Microwave Humidity Sounder consists of FCDRS from Advanced Microwave Humidity Sounder-B (AMSU-B) onboard National Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellited N15, N16, and N17. The FCDR provides recalibrated brightness temperatures with detailed uncertainty estimates and error correlation information. The FCDR was generated in the EU Horizon2020 Fidelity and uncertainty in climate data records from Earth Observations (FIDUCEO) project and as further elaborated in the Product User Guide, the FCDR files are provided in FIDUCEO EASY netCDF4 formats.
