Abstract: The objective of this research is to develop and implement an algorithm to analyze a long term data record of CrIS/ATMS observations so as to produce monthly mean gridded Level-3 products which are consistent with, and will serve as a seamless follow on to, those of AIRS Version-7. We feel the best way to achieve this result is to analyze CrIS/ATMS data using retrieval and Quality Control (QC) methodologies which are scientifically equivalent to those used in AIRS Version-7. We developed and …
