README file for NOAA VTPR filter functions
March 2008

SRFs proviede by Tom Kleespies

noaa-tr-ness65.pdf titled: Satellite Infrared Soundings from NOAA
   Spacecraft, by McMillin et al., dated September 1973.

1) VTPR spectral response functions as scanned and cleaned up from
   NESS TR65.  These have the filename format setNfilterM.txt
   where N is the set number (1-4) and M is the channel number (1-8).
   There are 32 of these files.  These are difficult to read with a
   computer because the columns wrap around.

2) VTPR spectral response functions derived from (1) above, but in only
   three columns.  Col 1 is set number, Col 2 is wavenumber, Col 3 is
   un-normalized spectral response.  There is one file for each channel.
   The filename format is VTPR_filters_chanM where M is channel (1-8).
   These are the SRGs used for RTTOV

There are 32 channels for 8 channels and 4 sets
  channels  1-8  set 1
  channels  9-16 set 2
  channels 17-24 set 3
  channels 25-32 set 4
