Description
The OMPS-NPP LP L2 Temperature Vertical Profile swath daily 3-slit collection contains the temperature profile measured by the Ozone Mapping and Profiling Suite (OMPS) Limb-Profiler (LP) sensor on the Suomi-NPP satellite. The product measures the temperature in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere.
Each granule contains data from the daylight portion of each orbit measured for a full day. Spatial coverage is global (-90 to 90 degrees latitude), and there are about 14.5 orbits per day, the data from the center of the LP three slits are used to make a vertical profile. The profile is measured from the ground up to about 60 km with a vertical resolution of the retrieved profiles of approximately 1.8 km.
The data are written using the Hierarchical Data Format Version 5 or HDF5.
