An Algorithm for Retrieving Precipitable Water Vapor over Land Based on Passive Microwave Satellite Data by Fang-Cheng Zhou, Xiaoning Song, Pei Leng, Hua Wu, Bo-Hui Tang

“…Error analyses were performed using radiosonde sounding observations from Zhangye, China, and CE318 measurements of Dalanzadgad (43°34′37′′N, 104°25′8′′E) and Singapore (1°17′52′′N, 103°46′48′′E) sites from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), respectively. In Zhangye, the algorithm had a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 4.39 mm and a bias of 0.36 mm on cloud-free days, while on cloudy days there was an RMSE of 4.84 mm and a bias of 0.52 mm because of the effect of liquid water in clouds. …”
