The IASI interferometer data are of great significance for global atmospheric research. The authors demonstrated a high professional quality of spectra analysis and state-of-art retrieval algorithm. A rather large TOTAL data volume is not a serious disadvantage, a real disadvantage is archiving orbit-by-orbit mode. A global coverage is not necessary for many applications, but users have to download global data and delete unnecessary information to save memory. Downloading of ~ 1 TB (one year) may take ~ 50 hours. It may be suggested a simple filtering service of a type as follows.

1) Reading standard .nc file; 2) selecting user-defined list of variables; 3) writing of data in a new .nc file.

Short summary

We present atmospheric H₂O, HDO / H₂O ratio, N₂O, CH₄, and HNO₃ data generated by the MUSICA IASI processor using thermal nadir spectra measured by the IASI satellite instrument. The data have global daily coverage and are available for the period between October 2014 and June 2021. Multiple possibilities of data reuse are offered by providing each individual data product together with information about retrieval settings and the products' uncertainty and vertical representativeness.
