Description

TML2CO_2 is the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES)/Aura Level 2 Atmospheric Temperatures Limb Version 2 data product. It consists of atmospheric vertical profile estimates and associated errors derived using TES and MLS spectral radiance measurements taken at nearest time and locations. Also provided are calculated total vertical column, averaging kernels and a priori constraint vectors.

Version Description

New species retrieval products for PAN, OCS and relative humidity. New/updated joint products for TES-OMI O3 and TES-MLS CO. Updated GMAO a priori values. Improved O3 IRK values.
