The CrIS/ATMS instruments used for this product are on board the NOAA-20 platform, also known as JPSS-1. The CrIS instrument is a Fourier transform spectrometer with a total of 2211 FSR (Full Spectral Resolution) infrared sounding channels covering the longwave (645-1095 cm-1), midwave (1210-1750 cm-1), and shortwave (2100-2550 cm-1) spectral regions. The ATMS instrument is a cross-track scanner with 22 channels in spectral bands from 23 GHz through 183 GHz.\n\nThe CLIMCAPS algorithm uses an Optimal Estimation methodology and uses an a-priori first guess to start the process. A CLIMCAPS sounding is comprised of a set of parameters that characterizes the full atmospheric state and includes a variety of geophysical parameters derived from the CrIMSS data. These include surface temperature and infrared emissivity; full atmosphere profiles of temperature, water vapor and ozone; infrared effective cloud top characteristics; carbon monoxide, methane, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, and nitric acid. The CLIMCAPS algorithm uses data from the second Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) as a first-guess for the atmospheric state. Because MERRA-2 products typically have a latency from 3 to 7 weeks, so too do the CLIMCAPS products.\n\nA level 2 granule has been set as 6 minutes of data, 30 footprints cross track by 45 lines along track. There are 240 granules per day, with an orbit repeat cycle of approximately 16 day.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C2790945504-GES_DISC.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://airs.jpl.nasa.gov/data/guides-docs/climcaps-science/", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datacollection/SNDRJ1IML2CPS_2.1.html", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Images/SNDRJ1IML2CPS_2.1.png", "format": "PNG", "mediaType": "image/png"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Sounder/CLIMCAPS.V1.ATBD.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Sounder/CLIMCAPS.V2.1.README.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Sounder/CLIMCAPS.V2.Test.Report.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Sounder/CLIMCAPS_V2_L2_science_guides.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Sounder/L2_CLIMCAPS_V2.to.V2.1_Mapping.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C2790945504-GES_DISC", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://sounder.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/JPSS1_Sounder_Level2/SNDRJ1IML2CPS.2.1/", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://sounder.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/JPSS1_Sounder_Level2/SNDRJ1IML2CPS.2.1/", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}], "identifier": "10.5067/5GHJWKUXQSP6", "keyword": ["earth-science-air-quality-atmosphere-tropospheric-ozone", "earth-science-altitude-atmosphere-tropopause", "earth-science-atmospheric-chemistry-atmosphere", "earth-science-atmospheric-chemistry-atmosphere-carbon-and-hydrocarbon-compounds", "earth-science-atmospheric-radiation-atmosphere-outgoing-longwave-radiation", "earth-science-atmospheric-temperature-atmosphere", "earth-science-atmospheric-temperature-atmosphere-surface-temperature", "earth-science-atmospheric-temperature-atmosphere-upper-air-temperature", "earth-science-atmospheric-water-vapor-atmosphere", "earth-science-atmospheric-water-vapor-atmosphere-water-vapor-indicators", "earth-science-clouds-atmosphere-cloud-properties", "earth-science-ocean-temperature-oceans", "earth-science-ocean-temperature-oceans-sea-surface-temperature", "earth-science-precipitation-atmosphere", "earth-science-surface-thermal-properties-land-surface-skin-temperature"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-23", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/TISL/GESDISC"}, "spatial": "[\"GEODETIC\", [{\"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -180, \"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 90, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": 180, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": -90}]]", "temporal": "2015-11-02/2026-06-15", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "Sounder SIPS: JPSS-1 CrIMSS Level 2 CLIMCAPS: retrieved atmospheric state V2.1 (SNDRJ1IML2CPS) at GES DISC"}
