Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an important and active part of the atmosphere. As known, microwave PWV retrieval is well applied for the ocean but challenging over land. In this article, we creatively established a microwave PWV retrieval spatial model over land using the back-propagation (BP) neural network to combine the high precision ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and high spatial continuity satellite-borne data. Three-year data from 167 GNSS stations located in ...

Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an important parameter reflecting atmospheric water vapor, which plays an important role in the global hydrological cycle. At present, brightness temperatures (Tbs) at frequencies of 18 and 23 GHz from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) are commonly applied in PWV data retrieval. Two tools are usually employed to perform the retrieval: physical models and neural networks. In this article, we creatively deduced a more universal physical equation and ...

Satellite remotely sensed products provide critical information to weather forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and greatly supplement spare or nonexistent surface observations. Low earth orbiting passive microwave sensors provide unique information related to atmospheric moisture and precipitation, as well as surface properties such as oceanic wind speed. This paper will focus on two microwave sensors that are part of NOAA's Joint Polar Satellite System-the Advanced ...

Abstract Remote Sensing Systems AMSR2 v7.2 data from 25 July 2012 to 9 October 2014 are collocated with in situ sea surface temperature (SST) data. The RSS SST algorithm uses AMSR2 brightness temperatures calibrated using a methodology developed at RSS rather than using the standard JAXA AMSR2 product, which includes the JAXA calibration. The new RFI exclusion methodology used for the AMSR2 v7.2 data is described. Buoy data are quality controlled using an internal quality indicator. Daytime collocations ...

This article assesses the impact of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) radiances in the all‐sky assimilation of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Individual impacts of three microwave imagers including AMSR2 were examined by using a baseline experiment that had no microwave imager data. The three microwave imagers brought similar improvements in humidity, temperature and wind first‐guess (FG) fields in the troposphere. Improvements were found in fits to both ...
