Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The MIRS was developed with an end-to-end capability of calibrating and characterizing the radiances measured from satellite-based microwave instruments and retrieving the environmental data records with state of the art algorithm science. This system is an upgrade from the NESDIS operational Microwave Surface and Precipitation Products System (MSPPS) and is a one-stop resource for ... microwave-derived products from various polar-orbiting satellite instrument configurations. The MIRS is capable of optimally retrieving atmospheric and surface state parameters and provides physical-based retrievals/products in a consistent fashion. It is also designed to be instrument/spectrum-independent, parameter-independent, and platform-independent. The MIRS produces advanced near-real-time operational surface and precipitation products in all-weather and over all-surface conditions using brightness temperatures from multiple microwave instruments. Current instruments are the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) and the Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) onboard NOAA-18 and MetOp-A satellites and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) aboard the DMSP 5D-2/F16 satellite. Current operational Sounding Products are temperature, moisture, and hydrometeor profiles over ocean and land available in the HDF-EOS and NetCDF profile format. Current operational Precipitation and Surface Products are total precipitable water over ocean and land, land surface temperature, land surface emissivity, cloud liquid water, sea ice concentration, snow water equivalent, snow cover, ice water path, rain water path, and rainfall rate available in the HDF-EOS and NetCDF image format.

ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: TBD LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: Temperature profiles have been shown to match closely with radiosonde measurements in the lower troposphere. COMPLETENESS REPORT: TBD LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP: PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The radiance processing and radiometric bias monitoring generates ready-to-invert radiances or brightness ... temperatures from the level 1b input data. Then the inversion processing generates the main MIRS retrieval outputs (level 2 orbital swath data). The MIRS is implemented on the NESDIS Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) operational environment and maintained by the current MSPPS maintenance resource.
