Products and Documentation

Currently, near-real-time Level 1B products are available only to TROPICS early adopters. However, some archived data from the TROPICS constellation are publicly available. Links to the publicly available data and associated documentation are included below. Products without links are under development and will be delivered at a later date.
Level 1A
Orbital Geolocated Native-Resolution Antenna Temperatures
Level 1B
Timestamped, geolocated calibrated brightness temperature (bias removed)
Level 1C
Limb-Adjusted Brightness Temperature Interpolated to a Regularized Scan Pattern
Level 2A
Spatially resampled brightness temperature (F-band resolution)
Level 2B
Instantaneous Surface Rain Rate (PRPS algorithm)
Level 2B
Atmospheric Vertical Temperature Profile (MiRS algorithm)
Level 2B
Atmospheric Vertical Moisture Profile (MiRS algorithm)
Level 2B
Atmospheric Vertical Temperature and Moisture Profile (MIT LL Neural Network Algorithm)
Level 2B
Precipitation Ice Water Path (Vanderbilt K-d Tree Algorithm)
Level 2B
Tropical Cyclone Intensity (CIRA Tropical Cyclone Intensity Estimate [TCIE] Algorithm)
Level 2B
Tropical Cyclone Intensity (CIMSS Hurricane Intensity and Structure (HISA) Algorithm)
Level 2B
Tropical Cyclone Intensity (CIMSS DeepMicroIRNet [D-MINT183] Algorithm)
