Use of Double Channel Differences for Reducing the Surface Emissivity Dependence of Microwave Atmospheric Temperature and Humidity Retrievals
Abstract Surface emissivity has a significant impact on atmospheric parameter retrievals from microwave sounding instruments. To reduce the dependence of retrievals on surface emissivity, a double channel differences equation is deduced, and a corresponding retrieval scheme is constructed. Retrieval...
