Summary

Abstract: The AIRS Only Level 3 8-Day Gridded Retrieval Product contains standard retrieval means, standard deviations and input counts. Each file covers an 8-day period, or one-half of the Aqua orbit repeat cycle. The mean values are simply the arithmetic means of the daily products, weighted by the number of input counts for each day in that grid box.

Quality The Deep Krill camera system had no absolute feedback, so it could never be certainly known if the recording was occurring properly until the data were reviewed at the surface.

There appeared to be some interference between the CTD bottle firing and camera commands being transmitted to the CTD rosette. This was worked around by monitoring the feedback from the camera system, then transmitting the bottle firing trigger in between updates.
