Creator:

Francis, Erika A.

Abstract:

Six years of Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data from 1979 to 1984 are recalibrated at the radiometric level. New statistical techniques are developed to quantify the temporal and orbital data errors and to generate numerical corrections for brightness temperatures prior to estimation of geophysical parameters. The foundations of...
