AIRS Online Visualization and Analysis
AIRS Global 1.0° x 1.0° (2.5° x 2.0° for CO2) Monthly Level-3 Products
Home
To build on the success of
the previous version of the Giovanni online analysis tool
, this Giovanni-3 interface has been redesigned to improve visualization and analysis of the AIRS Global 1.0° x 1.0° (except CO2 which is in 2.5° x 2.0° lonxlat bin) monthly Level-3 Products. By choosing various data services below, users can create area plots, time series plots, Hovmöller diagrams and animations or compare different flavors of AIRS Level-3 data. Results can be downloaded either in HDF or ASCII format. Please check
data availability
to ensure a successful run.

Notes:
'Analyis Options' allow you to visualize of the following analysis (or data) types:
Parameter:
original data of the selected parameter
Climatology:
pre-generated monthly climatology of the selected parameter(s). To discover how the climatology was created, click the 'Climatology Info' button to display the climatology column in the parameter table below, then click on the climatology product link.
Note
that all of the climatology products are
pre-generated
.
Anomaly:
monthly anomaly of the selected parameter(s):
Xa ( i ) = X (i ) - Xm ( i )
where:
i
denotes month (1, 2, ... , 12),
Xa(i)
represents the anomaly data for the month
i
,
X(i)
is the original data of the month
i
,
Xm(i)
is the monthly climatology data for the month
i
.
Note:
Time or spatial averages are performed on the anomaly data. For example, when time average is performed, such as service: Lat-Lon map, Time-averaged, the system calculates monthly anomaly first and averages the monthly anomalies for each grid point. Similarly, when spatial average is needed, such as time series plot, the system calculates monthly anomaly first and then do spatial average for each month.
Parameters that do not have associated climatology are disabled (you won't be able to select them) when either the climatology or anomaly analysis is selected
You must select a parameter (left-most column checkbox in the tables below) in order for its climatology or anomaly to be plotted.

Levels
for '(3D)' Parameters
• For 'vertical' (pressure) plots using '(3D)' parameters, select a Lower/Upper Level range.
• For 'horizontal' (lat-lon) plots, select only one Level (i.e., Upper Level = Lower Level).

NOTE:
Humidity profiles, H2O* and relative humidity* (3D), are
LAYER
variables;
they represent the mean value of the corresponding entity in the layer enclosed within indicated levels; e.g. a humidity entity selected at 500 mb represents the mean quantity in the layer 500-400 mb.
