Abstract: The National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) collocation data archive of satellite and radiosonde measurements is used to investigate errors in in situ radiosonde data and a NESDIS-like radiative ...

Abstract: To utilize satellite radiance sounding data, in either explicit or implicit retrieval algorithms, a proper understanding of the noise in the measurements is required. Conventionally, to define the expected accuracy of ...

Abstract: A new approach is presented to the problem of specifying constraints on retrieval estimators used to calculate vertical temperature profiles from satellite measurements of upwelling radiance. An unsupervised classification ...
