Emission and spectroscopy of the clear atmosphere
Philip W. Rosenkranz,Stefan A. Buehler,Dietrich G. Feist,Tim J. Hewison,N. Jacquinet-Husson,Juan R. Pardo,Roger Saunders +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current state and recent developments in the modelling of microwave absorption by atmospheric gases and in the validation of those models by radiometric measurements by local thermodynamic equilibrium implies that the absorption coefficient also determines the thermal energy emitted by the clear atmosphere.
Atmospheric Infrared Sounder
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of two Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and two Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A) data.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed-Microwave (NAST-M): results from CAMEX-3 and WINTEX
William J. Blackwell,F.W. Chen,R.V. Leslie,Philip W. Rosenkranz,M.J. Schwartz,David H. Staelin +5 more
TL;DR: The National Polarorbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Aircraft Sounding Testbed, or NAST, has recently been developed and deployed on the NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Retrieval of water vapor from AMSU-A and AMSU-B measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a priori surface emissivity is computed on the basis of a preliminary classification algorithm, and the surface brightness spectrum is subsequently adjusted simultaneously with the moisture profile retrieval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of AMSU-A Brightness Temperatures on Scattering From Antarctic Firn and Correlation With Polarization of SSM/I Data
TL;DR: A function of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A measurements at 50.3 and 52.8 GHz is defined, which has the property of being sensitive to the angular distribution of surface-scattered atmospheric thermal emission but insensitive to the surface reflectivity, assuming reflectivity to be equal at the two frequencies.
