“…The MUSES algorithm can use radiances from multiple instruments, including AIRS and other instruments (CrIS, TES, OMI, OMPS, TROPOMI, and MLS), to quantify geophysical observables that affect the corresponding radiance. The AIRS single-footprint HDO profile retrievals have been described by Worden et al (2019), and have heritage from the TES algorithm (Worden et al, 2004(Worden et al, , 2011(Worden et al, , 2012Bowman et al, 2006Bowman et al, , 2002. The Optimal Spectral Sampling (OSS) fast radiative transfer model (Moncet et al, 2008(Moncet et al, , 2015 for single-footprint AIRS measurements has been integrated into the MUSES algorithm, in support of the operational data production towards the multi-decadal record of global HDO profiles.…”
