| Summary: | (AMSR). The purpose of this work is to test the refined A modified D-matrix retrieval method is the basis of the cloud liquid water (CLW), and surface wind speed (WS) comparison retrieval methods. The utilization of the developed for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Radiometer geophysical parameter retrieval methods using data from the improved semi-empirical sea surface emissivity model is integrated into this refined D-matrix procedure that is being of the geophysical retrieval algorithms which are developed polarization difference is used to restrict the application polarization difference of the 85 GHZ channels to restrict proves to be a valuable and reliable geophysical parameter published retrieval methods for each geophysical parameter, refined total integrated water vapor (TIWV), total integrated retrieval methods are more physically valid than the retrieval methods presented to the statistical performance of retrieval methods that are developed. The 85 GHZ retrieval tool. slightly better. However, it is demonstrated that the new Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM/I). When comparing the application of specifically-derived retrieval algorithms the retrieval methods developed for this study perform only the statistical performance of the TIWV, WS, and CLW to handle specific atmospheric absorptive situations.
