A physically-based retrieval of cloud liquid water from SSM/I measurementsA simple physical scheme is proposed for retrieving cloud liquid water over the ice-free global oceans from Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) observations. Details of the microwave retrieval scheme are discussed, and the microwave-derived liquid water amounts are compared with the ground radiometer and AVHRR-derived liquid water for stratocumulus clouds off the coast of California. Global distributions of the liquid water path derived by the method proposed here are presented.
