Description
Summary:The NOAA Unique Combined Atmospheric Processing System (NUCAPS) is the official operational hyperspectral enterprise sounding product system that produces vertical profiles of temperature, water vapor, ozone, and a variety of trace gas products (e.g. CO, CH4, and CO 2 ). These products provide continued support of global environmental data from multiple polar-orbiting satellites to monitor atmospheric composition, trace gas concentrations, climate change and Earth system processes. This paper presents an overview of the NUCAPS atmospheric composition products, performance, and utilization for many regional and global applications. Future plans on collaborations, special data needs by user communities, and upgrades to the data products to support near real-time applications are discussed. In addition, continued efforts towards reprocessing to generate mission-long high-quality science products, adapting to enterprise algorithms, and providing calibrated radiances and geophysical data products via direct broadcast networks are discussed for user awareness and international collaborations.
