| [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... |

| The atmospheric water vapor, a main climatic parameter, remains also one of the less well known in the inter tropical area. Different space programs have been carried out to improve its measure: the data provided by these experimental or operational programs, give an alternate and complementary information the model’s analysis. Moreover, the time series available today, are long enough to allow studies of variability of different climatic parameters. The following contribution, dedicated to the climate of the Western Africa, analyses the atmospheric humidity as retrieved by NOAA8/TOVS12 dated over the last 20 years. The climatology of the upper tropospheric humidity (UTH13), retrieved from HIRS-121, evidences the importance of the position and the... |
