A practical demonstration on AMSU retrieval precision for upper tropospheric humidity by a non-linear multi-channel regression method

A neural network algorithm inverting selected channels from the Advance Microwave Sounding Unit instruments AMSU-A and AMSU-B was applied to retrieve layer averaged relative humidity. The neural network was trained with a global synthetic dataset representing clear-sky conditions. A precision of...
