Summary

Abstract: Section 1. General Description

Spencer and Christy (1990) demonstrated that accurate estimates of global

Description: MSU Limb93 Data access page. Data from the MSU LIMB93 processing is available
in two formats, namely, the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) and a native format
originally used by the data producer. In both cases, separate files are
provided for the Lower Tropospheric Temperature (LTT), the Upper Tropospheric
Temperature (UTT), the Lower Stratospheric Temperature (LST) and the Oceanic
Precipitation (OP). Each HDF file contains a single year of daily grids at 2.5
degree resolution. The native format files contain all 16 years of data in
single files, except for precipitation which is separated by year as in the
case of the HDF version of the data. The data and read programs are available
for both data formats via anonymous FTP.
