Calibration of the Meteosat water vapor channel using collocated NOAA/HIRS 12 measurements

Evaluation of the distribution of subtropical free tropospheric humidity in AMIP-2 simulations using METEOSAT water vapor channel data

A clear-sky radiance archive from Meteosat ”water vapor” observations

Inter-calibration of Meteosat Imagers and Iasi

EUMETSAT has initiated routine inter-calibration of the infrared channels of Meteosat imagers and the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on Metop-A, based on the regression of collocated radiance observations, weighted according to their spatial variability. This paper describes the algorithm and presents key results for Meteosat-7, -8 and -9 during 2007. These demonstrate the ...

Water Vapor Radiometer–Global Positioning System Comparison Measurements and Calibration of the 20 to 32 Gigahertz Tropospheric Water Vapor Absorption Model

Collocated measurements of opacity (from water vapor radiometer (WVR) brightness temperatures) and wet path delay (from ground-based tracking of Global Positions System (GPS) satellites) are used to constrain the model of atmospheric water vapor absorption in the 20 to 32 GHz band. A differential approach is presented in which the slope of opacity-versus-wet delay data is used as the absorption...
