摘要: [1] Precipitable water (PW) retrievals from FORMOSAT-3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) Global Positioning (GPS) radio occultation (RO) measurements were analyzed compared with those derived Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observation (AMSR-E) during the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events 2007 to 2011. For three ENSO in 2007–2011, monthly mean binned COSMIC PW results are a very high correlation (up 0.98) of SSM/I AMSR-E over ocean, generally root-mean-square differences less than 4 mm. satellites also similar latitudinal variations. However, is slightly underestimated by GPS RO, particular, tropical regions. This underestimate may be caused partially fact that not all RO can reach surface. Inter-satellite anomaly comparisons winter months events, respect neutral (non-ENSO) months, show consistent signals major near central Pacific warm event Indonesian region east Australia two cold events. 2007/2008 La Nina somewhat correlated SSM/I. stronger 2010/2011 Nina, their anomalies higher correlations about 0.8.
