NOAA JPSS Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) Sensor
Data Record (SDR) from IDPS

The Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) on board Suomi
NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 is a 22 channel microwave sounder that provides continuous
cross-track scanning in an 824 km sun-synchronous orbit. This Sensor Data Record
(SDR) from ATMS provides Level 1b calibrated and geolocated radiance data produced
from the ATMS Raw Data Record (RDR) and Temperature Data Record (TDR). This
operational SDR is used to produce ATMS Environmental Data Records (EDR) for
measuring atmospheric temperature and moisture. ATMS SDR data obtained from the NOAA
Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed as
aggregated 8 minute files consisting of 15 granules in the Hierarchical Data Format
v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes included.
