Thermodynamical Initial Guess Retrieval (TIGR)
What is the TIGR dataset ? The Thermodynamic Initial Guess Retrieval (TIGR) dataset, in its latest version, is a climatological library of 2311 atmospheric situations representative of the Earth’s atmosphere, selected […]
IASI
Developed by CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) in partnership with Eumetsat (EUropean organisation for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites), the IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) instrument was designed for operational meteorology and for monitoring atmospheric chemistry and climate. IASI is a thermal infrared Fourier transform spectrometer that provides radiance spectra and derived atmospheric variables to feed operational weather forecasting centers, the Copernicus Services and the scientific community.
GRUAN
GRUAN is an international reference network of about thirty stations dedicated to the observation of key climatological variables between the surface and the stratosphere by radiosoundings. Several French organisations have […]
