Paper Abstract
The Goddard DISC generated products derived from AIRS/AMSU-A observations, starting from September 2002 when
the AIRS instrument became stable, using the AIRS Science Team Version-5 retrieval algorithm. The AIRS Science
Team Version-6 retrieval algorithm became operational at the Goddard DISC in late 2012. This paper describes some of
the significant improvements in retrieval methodology contained in the Version-6 retrieval algorithm, compared to that
used in Version-5. In particular, the Science Team made major changes with regard to the algorithms used to 1) derive
surface skin temperature and surface spectral emissivity; 2) generate the initial state used to start the cloud clearing and
retrieval procedures; and 3) determine Quality Control. This paper describes these advances found in the AIRS Version-
6 retrieval algorithm and demonstrates the improvements of some AIRS Version-6 products compared to those obtained
using Version-5.
