NC_GLOBAL.title: TOVS August 1990 using data from noaa10 (ng) the first guess model used en10n11c as input NC_GLOBAL.comment: This data processed by the Sounder Research Team, led by Dr. Joel Susskind (NASA GSFC), for the NASA Pathfinder Project. The data was originally written in HDF2 format. This project rewrites the datasets into netCDF format. Each variable contains descending and ascending orbit files NC_GLOBAL.keywords: ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR , CLOUDS , LONGWAVE RADIATION, SURFACE TEMPERATURE NC_GLOBAL.source: TOVS NOAA Polar Orbiting satellites , TIROS-N through NOAA-14, November 1978 through December 2004 NC_GLOBAL.platform: NOAA10 NC_GLOBAL.instrument1: HIRS/2 NC_GLOBAL.instrument2: MSU NC_GLOBAL.processing_level: 3 NC_GLOBAL.product_name_type_id: TOVS Pathfinder Path-A NC_GLOBAL.product_start_date_time: 1990-08-01 00:00:00 NC_GLOBAL.product_end_date_time: 1990-08-31 23:59:59 NC_GLOBAL.acknowledgment: Support for this research was provided by NASA.
