Atmospheric sounding user's guide
Abstract
The TIROS operational vertical sounder (TOVS) on TIROS-N series satellites replaced the vertical temperature profile radiometer (VIPR) flown on earlier polar orbiting spacecraft. Since the successful launch of TIROS-N and the change-over to TOVS, many papers and articles were presented concerning the various aspects of the TOVS hardware/software system. The significant features of the TOVS operational system are presented.
