summaryThe product contains the 2.5-degree by 2.5-degree monthly mean outgoing longwave radiation flux at the top of the atmosphere derived from HIRS radiance observations onboard NOAA TIROS-N series and MetOp satellites. The OLR retrieval uses multispectral regression models (Ellingson et al., 1989, Lee, 2014). The CDR processing includes HIRS radiance calibration, HIRS OLR inter-satellite adjustments, and temporal integral with OLR diurnal models (Lee et al., 2007).
