This is the most recent version of these data.
Overview
This data set (NmTHIR67-3H) consists of daily, global composites of radiative temperatures measured in the 6.7 µm water vapor window (6.5 µm - 7.0 µm) by the Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR) onboard the Nimbus 4 satellite. The composites were constructed from Nimbus 4 THIR swath data and show water vapor distribution in the upper troposphere and stratosphere.
