The 'adjusted' MSU/AMSU data in the period of 2001 to 2014 were used as reference data to calibrate other overlapped MSU/AMSU data from 1980 to 2001. This dataset provides advanced scientific researchers a high quality Climate Data Record (CDR) of Lower Stratosphere Temperatures. The objective of this study is to use highly stable GPS RO data to calibrate MSU channel 4 and AMSU-A channel 9 brightness temperatures and to further use the calibrated MSU and AMSU brightness temperatures to construct a consistent climate data record.

Level 1B AMSU data from NOAA 15, 16, 18, and 19, and from METOP/A, and MSU data from TIROS, NOAA6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 are used. For each orbiter, AMSU channel 9 and MSU channel 4 radiance, latitude, longitude, time, and scan angle values are input into the algorithm. From CDACC VERSION 2010.2640 data, dry temperature and water vapor profiles are obtained from ATM and WET data respectively. The profiles from the GPS RO missions COSMIC and CHAMP are first interpolated to 100 pressure levels and then passed to an AMSU forward model to calculate the corresponding channel 9 brightness temperatures. Those derived brightness temperatures, along with latitude, longitude, and time values, are then input into the algorithm. The size of the derived datasets varies with the number of radio occultation events, typically they require about 10 mb per month. The MERRA reanalysis data are read and interpolated to 100 pressure levels. Then the profiles are passed to AMSU and MSU forward model to calculate the corresponding brightness temperatures.
