A comparison of SSM/I-derived global marine surface specific humidity datasets

Satellite-based microwave sensors have, since the 1980s, provided a means to retrieve near-surface marine specific humidity (qa), accurate estimation of which is necessary for climate and air-sea interaction applications. Seven satellite measurement-derived monthly mean humidity datasets are compare...
