MIPAS data products

Description

This directory of the meteocloud data archive contains Envisat MIPAS data:

• ESA's level 1b V8.03 data (level1b_v8.03/)
• ESA's level 2 V7.03 data (level2_v7/)
• MIPAS polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) data set (psc/)
• MIPAS aerosol cloud classification data set (aerosol_clouds/)

ESA data sets

More information on Envisat MIPAS is available at: https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/instruments/mipas

The level 1b and level2 date were obtained from: ftp://mip-ftp-ds.eo.esa.int/

The level 1b data are calibrated (spectrally and radiometrically) and geo-located mid-IR spectra. More details can be found in the README file for MIPAS level 1b V8.03 products.

The level 2 data contain profiles of pressure, temperature and 15 gas species (CCL4, CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-14, CH4, ClONO2, COF2, H2O, HCN, HCFC-22, HNO3, N2O, N2O5, NO2, O3). Further documentation is available at: https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/catalog/envisat-mipas-temperature-pressure-and-atmospheric-constituents-profiles-mip_nl__2p-
