| Description | There are 3 components to this project. The first is the production of a quality controlled Level-1 data product for the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). Second is the generation of research quality ocean products. The 3rd component is studying the feasibility of obtaining both wind speed and wind direction from satellite microwave radiometers. The status of the three studies are discussed briefly. Time series of the SSM/I physical temperatures, receiver gains, and noise figures were studied in order to access the stability and integrity of the sensor data. A physically based retrieval algorithm was used to compute ocean products from the SSM/I Level-1 data. It simultaneously finds the near surface wind speed, the columnar water vapor, and the columnar liquid water. A wind direction signal was found in the SSM/I brightness temperature. |
