From 1979 onward, this dataset provides Level 3 geophysical parameters derived from TIROS-N satellite data using the Path A physical retrieval method. It uses HIRS2 and MSU instruments to produce global fields of atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, plus derived quantities like surface temperature, cloud properties, and ozone. The data is generated through a 6-hour forecast-retrieval-analysis cycle that assimilates satellite retrievals with in-situ measurements.
License details are unspecified ('other-license-specified'). The dataset identifier TOVSA5TN and the Path A scheme are specific to NASA's TOVS Pathfinder project.
