NASA's Global Hydrometeorology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has retired the webpage containing the global daily averaged temperature trend plots derived using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) on the Aqua satellite.

The content producer, Dr. Roy Spencer, reports that AMSU on Aqua has operated for over 16 years and several channels have failed (Channel 4 in 2008, Channel 5 in 2013, and most recently, Channel 14 shows significant degredation in quality). The data from the remaining channels are of questionable quality. For this reason, and with the content producer's agreement, we have retired this web page graphic image interface.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact GHRC User Services.
