[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: ML2CLO is the EOS Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) standard product for chlorine monoxide derived from radiances measured primarily by the 640 GHz radiometer. The current version is 2.2. Data coverage is complete from August 8, 2004 to current. Spatial coverage is near-global (-82¬∞ to +82¬∞ latitude), with each profile spaced 1.5¬∞ or ~165 km along the orbit track (roughly 15 orbits per day). ...
