SAPHIR: Humidity profileSAPHIR: Humidity profile
• Emission based RT simulations using simulated atmospheres
• Retrievals using Statistical & EOF techniques
• Improvement in lower level humidity profile through total water vapour content
• Impact of viewing geometry & surface contamination on retrievals
•At nadir view with dry atmosphere, the low freq channels are contaminated by surface contributions
•At oblique view with moist atmosphere, the low freq channels are less sensitive to boundary layer humidity which contributes the most to many meteorological & oceanographic processes
At nadir view with dry atmosphere, the low freq channels are contaminated by surface contributions
