Title
Stratified radiometric means for the evaluation of AIRS and CrIS.
Abstract
There are now five hyperspectral infrared sounders in orbit (AIRS, two CrIS instruments, two IASI instruments). A long-term record spanning these instruments and continuing forward with future instruments holds great promise for the study of weather and climate. This long-term record must separate the effects of instrument artifacts and weather variability. We introduce the "StratRad" stratified radiance means product, containing means of groups of spectra for AIRS on Aqua and CrIS on SNPP. We show how this product can be used both to illuminate instrument artifacts and to study common observations of weather patterns at an accuracy of better than 0.1 K. Radiances are stratified by latitude, longitude, day/night, land/sea, and observation angle.
