8.3.1.5 HIRS Data Sets
This section describes the characteristics and formats of the High Resolution Infrared Radiation
Sounder (both HIRS/3 and HIRS/4) data sets for both NOAA KLM (version 2) and NOAA-N (version 3)
satellites. Version 2 formats (v2) were used on all NOAA KLM data until April 28, 2005. After this date, the version 3 format (v3), also known as the NOAA-N format, will be
implemented for all operational POES spacecraft. There is no plan at this time to reprocess
archived data into the new format.
