The TROPESS AIRS-Aqua L2 Carbon Monoxide for Reanalysis Stream, Standard Product contains the vertical distribution of the retrieved atmospheric state of carbon monoxide (CO), formal uncertainties, and diagnostic information measured by the AIRS instrument on the EOS Aqua satellite. The reanalysis stream summary product is global for the time period from 2002-09-01 to 2020-03-31. The NASA TRopospheric Ozone and Precursors from Earth System Sounding (TROPESS) project, uses an optimal estimation algorithm, known as the MUlti-SpEctra, MUlti-SpEcies, Multi-SEnsors (MUSES).
The data files are written in the netCDF version 4 file format, and each file contains one day of data. The data have a spatial resolution of 13.5 km (AIRS nadir FOV), and are reported at 14 vertical levels from the surface to 0.1 hPa. The principal investigator for the TROPESS project is Kevin W. Bowman.
