MSU calibration reference parameters.
The parameters in MSUSCRPF compute MSU (Microwave Sounding Unit) brightness temperatures and check the quality of MSU data. This binary file is organized chronologically by date; the last record is the most recent. Each record contains 48 words. There may be more than one record for a particular satellite.
The first record is a header record. The following records contain data. Words 0 through 11 in the data records are the coefficients of second-degree polynomials used to convert platinum resistance thermistor resistance measurements to temperatures for the internal warm targets.
This file is supplied with McIDAS-X.
For MSU calibration reference parameters Application Program Interfaces (APIs), refer to the API functions list at the end of this section.
