Retrieval of water vapor profiles using SSM/T-2 and SSM/I data

A physically based retrieval algorithm is presented that retrieves water vapor profiles from Special Sensor Microwave/Temperature-2 (SSM/TG-2) passive microwave brightness temperature measurements. This method can use SSM/T-2 data alone or in conjunction with data from the Special Sensor Microwave/I...

Description
Summary:A physically based retrieval algorithm is presented that retrieves water vapor profiles from Special Sensor Microwave/Temperature-2 (SSM/TG-2) passive microwave brightness temperature measurements. This method can use SSM/T-2 data alone or in conjunction with data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I).
