Determination of low-level precipitable water variability from split window channel radiance dataA technique has been developed for the quantitative definition of low-level precipitable water vapor from radiance measurements. High resolution data from the airborne Multispectral Atmospheric Mapping Sensor (MAMS) have been used in conjunction with this technique to define variability down to the lower end of the mesoscale. MAMS measures reflected radiation from the earth's surface and clouds in eight visible bands, and thermal emission from the earth's surface, clouds, and atmospheric water vapor in three IR bands. The present technique is found to be applicable to existing satellite sensors, but will not yield the mesoscale resolution furnished by the aircraft data.
