SABER Data from the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) Mission

The Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry

(SABER) is one of four instruments that constitute the TIMED spacecraft, the first mission of the NASA Solar Connections program.

Data from the SABER instrument consists of Level 1B, Level 2A and Level 2B data.

Level 1B data consists of calibrated radiance profiles converted to radiance units with instrument effects removed, geolocated and gridded to a uniform angle spacing.

Level 2A data consists of profiles of kinetic temperature, presure and density, profiles of emission rates of nitrogen oxide (NO), hydroxyl (OH), and oxygen (O2); mixing ratios of ozone (O3), water vapor (H2O),
carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H).

Level 2B data consists of profiles of CO2, O and H mixing ratios. Profiles of cooling rates from CO2, NO, O3, and H2O; profiles of heating rates from O3, O2, and CO2; profiles of heating rates fro various ractions; profiles of emission and heating efficiency from OH and O2; and profiles of geotropic wind.
