Data Alert: CLIMCAPS Processing System Derived Carbon Monoxide Mass Mixing Ratio

Significant bias found in CLIMCAPS Processing System Derived Carbon Monoxide Mass Mixing Ratio dataset.

Users of Community Long-term Infrared Microwave Coupled Atmospheric Product System (CLIMCAPS) Level-2 and Level-3 products should avoid the derived product “co_mmr_midtrop” (carbon monoxide mass mixing ratio to dry air [kg/kg] at ~500 hPa). This variable has a significant bias due to a conversion error. 

Please view the full announcement on the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) to address this issue.
