AB: The EOS Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) is one of 4 instruments on the NASA Aura satellite launched 15 July 2004. It includes in its measurement suite 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), validated sets of the above profiles (Level 2), daily and monthly gridded maps (Level 3), and daily and monthly Zonal Means (Level 3). This paper presents an overview and latest developments in the EOS MLS data processing.
