Remote sounding of the atmosphere has proved to be a fruitful method of obtaining global information about the atmospheres of the earth and planets. This book treats the inverse problem of remote sounding comprehensively, and discusses a wide range of retrieval methods for extracting atmospheric parameters of interest from the quantities such as thermal emission that can be measured remotely. Inverse theory is treated in depth from an estimation-theory point of view, but practical questions are also emphasized, for example designing observing systems to obtain the maximum quantity of information, efficient numerical implementation of algorithms for processing of large quantities of data, error analysis and approaches to the validation of the resulting retrievals, The book is targeted at both graduate students and working scientists.read more

Advances in Continuously Profiling the Thermodynamic State of the Boundary Layer: Integration of Measurements and Methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe advances in ground-based thermodynamic profiling of the lower troposphere through sensor synergy, which uses a microwave profiler, a cloud radar, and a ceilometer to simultaneously retrieve vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and liquid water content (LWC) of nonprecipitating clouds.

Multiple scattering in observations of the GPM dual-frequency precipitation radar: Evidence and impact on retrievals.
TL;DR: In the presence of deep convection, certain characteristics of the dual‐wavelength reflectivity profiles cannot be explained with single scattering, whereas they are readily explained by multiple‐scattering theory.
