Abstract

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) introduces new Level-1C (L1C) products. AIRS Version 6.6 L1C processing addresses data quality and sampling issues as well as spectral drift, making a clean, easy to use product. This will be the first version of AIRS L1C permanently hosted at the Goddard Earth Science DAAC, making it easy for users to access. A later Version 7 L1C will incorporate v7 Level-1B (L1B) calibration improvements and use a modern netCDF4 format. We focus on the spectral changes in the AIRS instrument and the new L1C feature that corrects for it.
