FIDUCEO: Fundamental Climate Data Record of recalibrated brightness temperatures for the High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) with uncertainties, 1985 - 2016, v1.0
The FIDelity and Uncertainty in Climate data records from Earth Observations (FIDUCEO) project Fundamental Climate Data Record of recalibrated brightness temperatures for the High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) contains recalibrated brightness temperatures for HIRS for all editions of HIRS/2, HIRS/2I, HIRS/3, and HIRS/4, with metrologically traceable uncertainty estimates. This version is harmonised and anchored to infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer IASI via MetopA satellite.
It contains 40 years worth of data covering the period period 1985-03-10 to 2016-12-31. Each file contains: Basic telemetry: longitude, latitude, time, satellite and solar angles; Brightness temperatures for channels1--19; Independent and structured uncertainty for channels 1--19; A lookup table to convert between radiances and brightness temperatures for channels 1—19; A channel error correlation matrix; Two bitfields indicating identified problems with the data. For any data field that varies across the channels (such as brightness temperatures and their uncertainties).
Full documentation including product user guide, tutorials, the scientific basis and relevant publications are available in the documentation.
