Data sets
Total column water vapour from the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) instruments onboard ERS-1, ERS-2, and ENVISAT R. Bennartz, M. Stengel, M. Schroeder, R. Hollmann, B. Picard, and F. Fell https://doi.org/10.5676/DWD_EMIR/V001
Short summary
The microwave radiometers (MWR) on board ERS-1, ERS-2, and Envisat provide a continuous time series of brightness temperature observations between 1991 and 2012. Here we report on a new total column water vapour (TCWV) and wet tropospheric correction (WTC) dataset that builds on this time series. The dataset is publicly available under doi:10.5676/DWD_EMIR/V001.
