Abstract

This paper reports on the recent status of the validation program for the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) Cross-track Infrared Microwave Sounding Suite (CrIMSS), a hyperspectral infrared sounding system designed for providing high resolution atmospheric vertical temperature and moisture profile (AVTP and AVMP) environmental data records (EDRs). CrIMSS EDR validation activities, currently (as of this writing, May 2012) segueing from the Early-Orbit Checkout (EOC) phase to the Intensive Cal/Val (ICV) phase of the program, are briefly highlighted.
