Yet Another Spencer and Christy MSU Version From: http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/readme.09Sep2006
Update 9 Sept 2006 ***************************** We are nearing completion of the new diurnal corrections and the conversion of AMSU data to mimic MSU data (rather than substituting AMSU5 for MSU2, as in v5.2). We will likely use a statistical combination of AMSU4-9 to generate a more realistic MSU2 from which LT and MT are derived. This will make the time series more consistent. The diurnal drift and hot target effects of NOAA-15 and NOAA-16 render the recent months of v5.2 too warm since we haven't adjusted for those effects. As a quick solution, we are subsituting a preliminary version of LT (v6.0p) for Jan - Aug 2006 for which these adjustments have been applied. We caution that there are still likely to be some changes to v6.0 when it is released in a month or two, but this seemed the best path to take given the growing errors especially in NOAA-15 LT. The remaining months prior to Jan 2006 will be v5.2 as before, so we will still label those months as v5.2. When we have completed v6.0, we will relabel all of the datasets accordingly.
