This data set of meteorological parameters was prepared by the experimenter's office on an IBM 360/75 binary magnetic tapes. It contains: 1) brightness temperatures from five channels (22.235 to 55.45 GHz); 2) retrieved water vapor amount and cloud water content over calm oceans; 3) inverted mean layer temperatures for 1000-500 mbar, 500-250 mbar, and 250-100 mbar; and 4) derived temperatures for 14 standard pressure levels from 1000 to 100 mbar. Spatial resolution on the ground varies from 145 km at nadir to 330 at scan extremes. Normally, one tape contains 4 days of data.
