EUMETSAT's next generation of polar-orbiting satellites MetOp-SG will carry the Microwave Imager (MWI), which will provide global measurements of atmospheric water vapor and clouds. Deriving these and other parameters of the Earth system requires accurate radiative transfer simulations at MWI frequencies.
This repository contains code to assess, how the spectral response function of MWI at the five 183 GHz channels impacts the radiative transfer. The results are summarized in the report Assessment of using the spectral responsivity of MetOp-SG's Microwave Imager (MWI) for the radiative transfer at 183 GHz by N. Risse, M. Mech, and S. Crewell (2022).
Getting started provides a description on how to use the provided code and this guide summarizes the steps needed to reproduce figures presented in the report.
