Current Status
The most recent version string for all TES data products is F08_11. TES Level 1B radiances (current version is V6) have undergone rigorous validation. TES Level 2 products (current version is V7) have undergone extensive quality control and validation testing, and include updates to improve nadir temperature products and all limb products.
Currently, the TES L2 products that are that are validated with known biases and ready for scientific use are nadir retrievals of ozone, carbon monoxide, temperature, water vapor, water isotopologue, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. Users are encouraged to contact the TES science team for data applications.
