HDO
Product Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Parameters | HDO, H2O |
| Data Product Provenance | MUSES Version 1.11 |
| Approximate file size | ~15 MB |
| Spatial coverage | Regular collections have global coverage:
|
| Temporal coverage | Each L2 Standard file contains 1 day of data |
| File format | Netcdf |
| Vertical sensitivity | Estimates of the deuterium content of water vapor are most sensitive to deuterium variability between 825 and 400 mb. |
| Data quality | The data have undergone a pre-quality check, which involves checks for retrieval convergence and measurement sensitivity. There are no checks for clouds or land versus ocean as we do not find these to substantively affect the quality of the retrieval as long as the retrieval has converged. |
| Uncertainty | Profiles have approximately 3-5% uncertainty (or ~ 40 per mil). Integrated values between 825 and 400 mb have approximately 3% (or 30 per mil) uncertainty |
| Validation Stage | AIRS HDO data are at validation Stage 3 and CRIS HDO data are at validation stage 2 according to NASA guidelines https://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/earth-science-data/data-maturity-levels |
