Study Scope

Keywords:

Computer and Information Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, gravity waves, remote sensing, stratosphere

Abstract:

This data repository provides access to atmospheric gravity wave observations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Information on stratospheric gravity wave activity is derived from radiance measurements covering the 4.3 and 15 micron carbon dioxide wavebands. The repository provides access to browse images and netCDF data files with high-resolution temperature retrievals and brightness temperature data products from the year 2002 up to present.

Time Period:
