A Comparison of the Brightness Temperatures and Water Vapor Path Delays Measured by the TOPEX, ERS-1, and ERS-2 Microwave Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nadir-looking microwave radiometers are flown on altimeter missions to correct the altimeter range for water vapor path delay. This paper describes a technique to intercalibrate the brightness temperatures of the ERS-1 and ...
Surface Albedo over the Sahel from METEOSAT Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to estimate surface albedo in the African Sahel is proposed and discussed. This method, which uses METEOSAT imagery and routine surface global radiation measurement is shown to be relevant for climatological ...
