| description abstract | A method is presented for deducing lower troposphere moisture fields from radiances measured by the operational polar orbiting NOAA satellites. Statistical evaluation of the technique demonstrates the viability of the approach. A case study with TIROS-N observations shows substantial improvement over current operational methods, and a qualitatively reasonable product. High moisture gradients are clearly defined and horizontal consistency is achieved. The technique appears useful for the initialization of subsynoptic forecast models. | |
