Abstract

A collection of state-of-the-art papers on products from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) sensors, particularly the SSM/T and SSM/I products are presented. Partial contents include: SM/I: Status Report; Calibration/Validation of the DMSP Microwave Water Vapor Sounder (SSM/T-2); Performance of DMSP Special Sensor Microwave Humidity Profiler (SSM/T-2) Preliminary Results; DMSP Block 6: A Data Driven Approach; NOAA/NESDIS: operational SSM/T Products and Distribution; NOAA/NESDIS SSM/T Algorithms and Evaluation; Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Microwave Radiometer Processing at Air Force Global Weather Central; DMSP Special Sensor Microwave/Imager Processing at the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center: Operational Status, Application and Plans; An Overview of the Experimental SSM/I Orbit-by- Orbit Products System (SSMIPROD) at NOAA/NESDIS; SSM/I Mapped Experimental Environmental Image Products; SSM/I Total Precipitable Water Vapor Algorithms: A Reprise and Update; The Use of the DMSP SSM/I for the Generation of Precipitation Products at NOAA/NESDIS: Part 1: A Status Report; The Use of the DMSP SSM/I for the Generation of Precipitation Products at NOAA/NESDIS: Part 2: Scientific Results; Production and Evaluation of Experimental SSM/I Ice and Wind Products at NOAA/NESDIS; Real Time Quality Control of SSM/I Wind Speed Data; Status of NESDIS Distribution of SSM/I Products; Processing and Distributing SSM/I Data via the Wet Net Project.
