Abstract: Given the prospect of direct assimilation of satellite microwave radiances within numerical weather prediction (NWP) schemes, this study proposes to test a nonlinear inversion for retrieving geophysical parameters from ...

Abstract: Issues arising in the application of high-resolution, high-precision spectroscopy to remote sensing are discussed in the context of deriving surface pressure from absorption in the O2 A-band. This application requires ...

Abstract: n ensemble of data assimilations (EDA) approach is used to estimate how the impact of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) measurements scales as a function of observation number in the ECMWF ...

Abstract: Airborne experiments to assess the feasibility of remote sensing surface pressure from a space platform are described. The data are high-resolution spectra in the O2 A band (759?771 nm) of sunlight reflected from the sea ...
