MWHS-2 Level 1C Climate Data Record Release 1

Abstract:
Release 1 of the Fundamental Climate Data Record (FCDR) of the Microwave Humidity Sounder - 2 (MWHS-2) onboard Chinese polar orbiting satellites FY-3A and FY-3B. The FCDR provides recalibrated brightness temperatures with detailed uncertainty estimates and error correlation information. The FCDR was generated for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and as further elaborated in the Product User Guide, the FCDR files are provided in netCDF4 format.
