CLIMCAPS algorithm retrieves full atmospheric state profiles from the AIRS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Temperature profiles have 100 vertical levels between 1100 mb and 0.1 mb, with a horizontal resolution of 50 km aggregated to a monthly 1°x1° grid. Retrieved parameters include surface properties, temperature, water vapor, ozone, and trace gases like carbon monoxide and methane.
The variable 'co_mmr_midtrop' has a significant bias; users must multiply it by 28.01/44.01 to correct for the erroneous use of CO2 molecular weight. Contact [email protected] for questions.
