| Abstract | Quantitative precipitation forecasting is currently limited by the paucity of observations of thermodynamic variables in the troposphere, including water vapor. Specifically, measurements of 3-D water vapor fields are needed at sub-meso-gamma scales in pre- storm conditions. This can be achieved using a network of remote sensors to retrieve the water vapor field with high spatial and temporal resolution. Such measurements may be used for assimilation into and validation of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Conventional measurements of water vapor density profiles are obtained using in-situ probes on-board weather balloons, including radiosondes. Remote sensing techniques to retrieve moisture profiles include ground-based networks receiving Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals, including GPS, and GPS receivers aboard the COSMIC satellite constellation for atmospheric occultation. These methods provide measurements with high vertical resolution but with coarse horizontal resolution. Differential Absorption Lidars (DIAL) can retrieve water vapor with comparable resolution to that of radiosonde observations. However, these lidars are expensive, and their operation is limited to clear-sky conditions due to the high opacity of clouds at optical wavelengths. Inversion of brightness temperatures measured by upward- looking, ground-based microwave radiometers allows the estimation of vertical profiles with high temporal resolution in both clear and cloudy conditions. However, assimilation of retrieved 3-D water vapor fields with improved spatial coverage into NWP models in pre-storm conditions has the potential for substantial impact on numerical weather prediction of convective storm activity. Measurements using a network of multi-frequency microwave radiometers can provide the necessary information to retrieve the 3-D distribution of water vapor in the troposphere. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
