New geophysical algorithms for the special sensor microwave imager

摘要: A unified set of algorithms for the estimation atmospheric parameters over ocean is assembled, making it possible to apply data from Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) case studies weather systems ocean. The problems sensor resolution and cross-parameter contamination are examined. usefulness obtaining surface-wind-speed fields, integrated water vapor, cloud liquid water, precipitation SSM/I brightness temperature demonstrated.
