Validation of Upper-Tropospheric Humidity from SAPHIR on board Megha-Tropiques Using Tropical Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) product derived from brightness temperature measurements of the Sondeur Atmosphérique du Profil d?Humidité Intertropicale par Radiométrie (SAPHIR) radiometer on ...
A Study of the Free Tropospheric Humidity Interannual Variability Using Meteosat Data and an Advection–Condensation Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor in the midtroposphere is an important element for the earth radiation budget. Despite its importance, the relative humidity in the free troposphere is not very well documented, mainly because of the difficulties ...
Evolution of the Distribution of Upper-Tropospheric Humidity over the Indian Ocean: Connection with Large-Scale Advection and Local Cloudiness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe spatial and temporal distribution of upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) observed by the Sounder for Atmospheric Profiling of Humidity in the Intertropics by Radiometry (SAPHIR)/Megha-Tropiques radiometer is ...
An Innovative Calibration Method for the Inversion of Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Retrieval schemes often use two important components: 1) a radiative transfer model (RTM) inside the retrieval procedure or to construct the learning dataset for the training of the statistical retrieval algorithms and 2) ...
