Abstract: Remote sensing of vertical temperature profiles by combined satellite- and surface-based microwave radiometers is evaluated. For both clear and cloudy conditions, realistic simulations of retrieval accuracy for three ...

Abstract: The scanning microwave spectrometer (SCAMS) aboard Nimbus-6 contains a 22.23 GHz water vapor channel and 31.65 GHz window channel for deriving integrated water vapor (precipitable water) and cloud liquid water through a ...

Abstract: The second WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP-2) evaluates the performance of 20 satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms, implemented for application with Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) passive ...
