Dataset Name
The name of the MSPPS mapped data set archived at CLASS. The name has the following format: Processing-Center.Data-Type.Spacecraft-Unique-ID.Year-Day with each qualifier defined below:
| Qualifier |
Details |
| Processing-Center |
Three characters identifying where the data was created. Recognized character groups is:NPR = NOAA/NESDIS - Suitland, Maryland, USA |
| Data-Type |
Four characters identifying the data type. Recognized character groups are: ABMP= AMSU-B Mapped Product (daily gridded files) |
| Spacecraft-Unique-ID |
NK = NOAA-15 (NOAA-K)NL = NOAA-16 (NOAA-L)NM = NOAA-17 (NOAA-M)NN = NOAA-18 (NOAA-N) |
| Year-Day |
e.g. D79104, where "D" identifies this group as a Julian day delimiter, "79" identifies the year in which the spacecraft began recording the data set and "104" identifies the Julian day on which the spacecraft began recording the data set. |

UTC
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the international time standard. It is the current term for what was referred to as Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour clock, therefore, afternoon hours such as 4 pm UTC are expressed as 16:00 UTC (sixteen hours, zero minutes).
