The data are converted into a NOAA HIRS Clear-Sky Channel 12 TB CDR at NCDC. The intermediate products include HIRS all-sky (binary), HIRS clear-sky (binary), and HIRS Limb-corrected clear-sky (ascii) data. The HIRS all-sky data are brightness temperatures for channels 1-19 processed from HIRS level 1b records. Cloud-removal procedures are performed to the all-sky data to generate clear-sky datasets. Limb-correction is then applied to clear-sky observations to obtain limb-corrected brightness temperatures. The data span from 1978 to the most current full year. This data set is suitable for long-term global studies and climate monitoring of upper tropospheric water vapor. The global observations play an important role in better modeling and understanding of tropical convection and its role in weather-climate connections from intraseasonal to interannual time scales.
