An Algorithm for Retrieving Precipitable Water Vapor over Land Based on Passive Microwave Satellite Data
Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is one of the most variable components of the atmosphere in both space and time. In this study, a passive microwave-based retrieval algorithm for PWV over land without land surface temperature (LST) data was developed. To build the algorithm, two assumptions exist: (1)...
