Limb Infra-red Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) Instrument: Methane and Nitrogen Dioxide measurements

Infrared radiances from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) instrument, mounted on the Nimbus-7 satellite, were stored on a Radiance Archive Tape (RAT). RAT data was used to derive a series of products, two of which are held here. Firstly, the LIMS Inverted Profile Archival Tape (LAIPAT). This dataset contains mixing ratios of methane and nitrogen dioxide.

Statement
Data were collected by the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) instrument, mounted on the Nimbus-7 satellite, and were stored on a Radiance Archive Tape (RAT). The RAT data were used to derive a series of products held at NASA, a copy of which was obtained by the Geophysical Data Facility (GDF, The predecessor archive to the BADC) for UK users.
