[1] The Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) integrated water vapor content (IWVC) estimates in a coastal region during nonstationary cold-air outbreak conditions are analyzed using IWVC retrievals obtained from shipborne microwave radiometry (DRAKKAR), water vapor differential absorption laser remote sensing (LEANDRE 2), radiosonde measurements, and numerical weather prediction (NWP) model ALADIN of Meteo-France. The study focuses on the 24 March 1998 Tramontane/Mistral event, which occurred over the Gulf of Lion (GoL) (western Mediterranean) in the framework of the flux, etat de mer et teledetection en condition de fetch variable (FETCH) experiment. Comparisons of SSM/I and ALADIN IWVCs with collocated shipborne microwave radiometry, at distances from... |
