TES/Aura L2 Summary Profiles V007

TL2SUM_7 is the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES)/Aura Level 2 Atmospheric Temperatures Limb Version 7 data product. TES was an instrument aboard NASA's Aura satellite and was launched from California on July 15, 2004. The satellite flew at an altitude of 705 km in an orbit that took it near Earth's North and South Poles. Through each orbit, the spacecraft advanced 22° westward. After 233 orbits (16 days) it was back to its starting point. The TES/Aura L2 Summary Profiles V007 product contains atmospheric vertical profile estimates, along with retrieved surface temperature, cloud effective optical depth, column estimates, quality flags, and priori constraint vectors.
