Summary

The parameters in the NSS.PSADTIVT.DMSP.MTHARCS2 data set are level
temperatures, brightness temperatures and radiosonde profiles. The
radiosonde profiles and the temperature retrievals from F8 and F10 are
matched in space and time. The spacecraft F8 and F10 data resides in a
rotating file at the Office of Satellite Data Processing and
Distribution ... (OSDPD) in Suitland, Maryland. The historical data for F8
and F10 also resides at OSDPD.

The parameters in the NSS.PSADTIVT.DMSP.MTHARCS1 data set are level
temperatures, brightness temperatures and radiosonde profiles. The
radiosonde profiles and the temperature retrievals from F9 and F11 are
matched in space and time. The spacecraft F9 and F11 data resides in a
rotating file at the Office of Satellite Data Processing and
Distribution (OSDPD) in Suitland, Maryland. The historical data for F9
and F11 also resides at OSDPD.
