The EOS Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), on the NASA Aura satellite launched 15 July 2004, is a follow-on to the Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) MLS instrument launched in 1991. Its measurement suite includes simultaneous global
measurement of vertical profiles of several atmospheric chemical constituents (O3, HCl, ClO, HOCl, BrO, OH, H2O,
HO2, HNO3, N2O, CO, HCN, CH3CN, volcanic SO2), cloud ice, geopotential height, and temperature. The MLS
Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) produces calibrated radiances (Level 1B) and the various geophysical
parameters (Level 2). The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) archives the standard
products and makes them available free to the public. This presentation provides highlights of the standard MLS data
products, including data format, data parameters, and data support (e.g. web based visualization, sub-setting, and read
software).
