TOVS Pathfinder Path A scheme uses a physical retrieval method from NOAA-9's HIRS2 and MSU instruments to produce 3D global fields of atmospheric temperature and moisture. The dataset also includes derived quantities like land/sea surface temperature, outgoing longwave radiation, cloud fraction, cloud top height, total ozone, and precipitation estimates. Its interactive forecast-retrieval-analysis cycle assimilates satellite retrievals with in-situ measurements like radiosonde reports every 6 hours.
