Abstract: | Recent algorithms for Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (DMSP-SSM/I) satellite data are used for estimating integrated water
vapour over the Indian seas. Integrated water vapour obtained from these algorithms is compared with that derived from radiosonde
observations at Minicoy and Port Blair islands. Algorithm-3 of Schlussel and Emery (1990) performed best. On the basis of
this algorithm, distribution of integrated water vapour is determined during the monsoon depression (22nd–27th July, 1992)
that formed over the Bay of Bengal. |
