Frequency and angular variations of land surface microwave emissivities: can we estimate SSM/T and AMSU emissivities from SSM/I emissivities?
To retrieve temperature and humidity profiles from special sensor microwave/temperature (SSM/T) and advanced microwave sounding units (AMSU), it is important to quantify the contribution of the Earth surface emission. So far, no global estimates of the land surface emissivities are available at SSM/T and AMSU frequencies and scanning conditions. The land surface emissivities have been previousl...
متن کاملTemporal Variations of Land Surface Microwave Emissivities over the ARM Southern Great Plains Site
Land surface microwave emissivities are important geophysical parameters for atmospheric, hydrological, and biospheric studies. This study estimates land surface microwave emissivity using an atmospheric microwave radiative transfer model and a combination of the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) satellite observations and data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Sout...
متن کاملExploitation of microwave sounder/imager data over land surfaces in the presence of clouds and precipitation SAF-HYDROLOGY, Final Report
Observations from SSMI/S are still not as intensively used in NWP as are observations from other microwave sensors. Despite their large information content, these observations are still insufficiently used. Some feasibility studies have been conducted within the ECMWF assimilation system as preliminary steps to use SSMI/S observations over land and under cloudy/rainy situations. New development...
متن کاملComparison of observed and simulated microwave land surface emissivities over bare soil
In this paper we evaluate data obtained during the VALEM (Validation of Land Surface Emissivity Models) experiment, which took place in September 1998 near Ludwigslust in north-eastern Germany. The emphasis of the eld campaign was to generate datasets to validate land surface emissivity models in the microwave spectral range. We describe the approach to derive land surface emissivities from t...
متن کاملRetrieval of Surface and Atmospheric Geophysical Variables over Snow-Covered Land from Combined Microwave and Infrared Satellite Observations
Surface temperature and emissivities, as well as atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid water, have been calculated from Special Sensor Microwave Imager observations for snow-covered land areas using a neural network inversion scheme that includes first-guess information. A learning database to train the neural network is derived from a global collection of coincident surface and atmospheric ...
