NOAA MiRS Level-2 Sounding Products
NOAA MiRS Level-2 Sounding Products are open Level 2 microwave retrieval products distributed by NOAA for atmospheric sounding use.[1][2] The Microwave Integrated Retrieval System product suite includes vertical profiles of temperature and moisture from microwave sounding sensors, along with hydrometeor and surface outputs beyond atmospheric profiling.[1][2] Level-2 sounding products are available as netCDF archive products, and operational product access is through NOAA OSPO.[3][1] The product family fits weather analysis and retrieval workflows that need microwave-derived temperature and moisture profiles, not GNSS radio-occultation soundings or optical imagery.[1] Users evaluating ingestion should account for the wider MiRS product suite, because the same operational family includes atmospheric, hydrometeor, and surface variables.[1][2] Access is open public NOAA product access, with free public distribution through NOAA operational and archive channels.[1][3]
