Review of Nimbus-5 Microwave Spectrometer resultsNimbus-E Microwave Spectrometer (NEMS) data are analyzed, especially those obtained from the 53.65, 54.9, and 58.8 GHz channels, corresponding to sensing at 4, 11, and 18 km respectively. The observations permit highly precise horizontal temperature profiles to be established and are hardly affected by clouds. The sensings of the 54.9 GHz channel unambiguously delineate wave structure on the equator. Horizontal water vapor profiles are derived from the 22.235 and 31.4 GHz channel data.
