Carbon Dioxide
Product Description
AIRS Carbon Dioxide Product
AIRS measures the distribution of carbon dioxide in the mid troposphere at a nadir resolution of 90 km x 90 km. The AIRS broad swath makes it able to map the global distribution of carbon dioxide every day. The high spectral resolution and stability of AIRS give it extremely high measurement accuracy (about 1.2 ppm) making it ideal for trending carbon dioxide levels and the global distribution.
Data Source
Available in L2 and L3 data product sets. The AIRS CO2 pre-release data from 2002 through 2008 is now available. Please refer to the CO2 pre-release data web page for more information.
