AMSR-E/TMI COMPARISONS For X-CAL Tom Wilheit Texas A&M Univ.
DATA AMSR-E DATA FOR 7/2005 TO 6/2006 SUPPLIED BY KEIJI IMAOKA CONVERTED TO 1C FORMAT BY PPS@GSFC ADDED : BETA ANGLE SUN GLINT ANGLE TIME SINCE ECLIPSE ENTRY MATCHUP DATA SET PROVIDED BY UNIV. CENTRAL FLORIDA (L. JONES GROUP) TBs & ss FOR 1 ° BOXES COINCIDENCES WITHIN 1 HOUR INCLUDES AVERAGE BEAM POSITION GDAS DATA INTERPOLATED TO GRID LOCATION/TIME KEEP THE ONES WITH ss < 2K(V POL) OR 3K(H POL) FIT SST, WS, CLW AND PW TO MATCH SOURCE TBs AS WELL AS POSSIBLE CALCULATE TARGET TBS AND DOUBLE DIFFERENCES
