Journal ArticleDOI
How Much More Rain Will Global Warming Bring
TL;DR: Observations suggest that precipitation and total atmospheric water have increased at about the same rate over the past two decades, compared with the climate models and satellite observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A well‐calibrated ocean algorithm for special sensor microwave / imager
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an algorithm for retrieving geophysical parameters over the ocean from special sensor microwave/imager (SSM/I) observations, based on a model for the brightness temperature T(sub B) of the ocean and intervening atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature through clouds
TL;DR: Microwave SST retrievals provide insights in a number of areas, including tropical instability waves, marine boundary layer dynamics, and the prediction of hurricane intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of oceanic wind vector using satellite microwave radiometers
TL;DR: It is found that the SSM/I minus buoy wind speed difference is correlated with wind direction, and the wind direction signal is used to make global, low-resolution maps of the monthly mean oceanic vector.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of observations and climate model simulations suggests that the observed influence of volcanic eruptions on tropospheric temperature has been significant, and that the discrepancy between climate simulations and observations is reduced by up to 15% when twenty-first century volcanic impacts are accounted for in the models as discussed by the authors.
