摘要: Spaceborne radar interferometric delay measurements were used to infer high-resolution maps of integrated atmospheric water vapor, which can be readily related meteorological phenomena. Maps the vapor distribution associated with a precipitating cloud, partly cold front, and horizontal convective rolls reveal quantitative measures that are not observed conventional methods, suggest such observations for forecasting study dynamics.
