Use of Double Channel Differences for Reducing the Surface Emissivity Dependence of Microwave Atmospheric Temperature and Humidity Retrievals

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...
