Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) Langley DAAC Project/Campaign Document

Summary:

The Prabhakara SMMR atmospheric liquid water and integrated atmospheric water vapor files were generated by Dr. Cuddapah Prabhakara at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) using SMMR Antenna Temperatures. A discussion of the SMMR Antenna Temperatures is available from the Langley Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC). Each file contains one month of 3 degree by 5 degree gridded mean liquid water. Each element of data is in units of mg/cm2. The data spans the period from February 1979 to May 1984.
