SSM/I Implementation Details for GPROF 2010
The SSM/I version of the GPROF 2010 algorithm uses input data from the Fundamental Climate Data Record (FCDR) currently being developed for NOAA. This dataset consists of brightness temperature data from the DMSP F08, F10, F11, F13, F14, and F15 SSM/I sensors, which have been quality controlled, corrected for cross-track biases and other issues, and then intercalibrated to be physically consistent with data from F13.
