Description

HIR3SCOL is the EOS High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS/Aura) level 3 daily gridded 1 x 1 deg. stratospheric columns of NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) data product. The data are gridded at 1 x 1 degree resolution from +80 to -64 degrees latitude. The stratospheric column is computed from data at 57 to 1.0 hPa. The product consists of one file spanning the entire ~3 year HIRDLS mission from January 22, 2005 through March 17, 2008. Users of the HIR3SCOL data product should read the Version 7 HIRDLS Data Description and Quality document for more information.

The data are stored in the version 5 EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5), which is based on the version 5 Hierarchical Data Format, or HDF5. The data file contains one grid object with data fields, attributes, and metadata.
