MLS/Aura Level 3 Monthly Binned Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Mixing Ratio on Assorted Grids V004 (ML3MBHCN) at GES DISC

ML3MBHCN is the EOS Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) monthly binned on various vertical grids product for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) derived from radiances measured primarily by the 190 GHz radiometer. The data version is 4.2. Spatial coverage is near-global (-82 to +82 degrees latitude), with a spatial resolution of 4 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude. The recommended useful vertical range is from 21.5 to 0.1 hPa, and the vertical resolution is between 8 and 12 km. Users of the ML3MBHCN data product should read chapter 4 and section 3.11 of the EOS MLS Level 2 Version 4 Quality Document for more information. The data files are archived in the netCDF4 format, which is also compatible with HDF5 readers and tools. Each file contains two grid objects (profile and column data), each with a set of data and geolocation fields, grid attributes, and metadata.
