A model for the dependence of MSU brightness temperature on lapse rate

An analytical model is developed for microwave sounding unit (MSU) channel 2 radiance that is both simple and accurate. The basis of the model is a parameterization of the pressure and temperature dependence of the absorption coefficient of oxygen in the 60 GHz band. The parameterization allows a cl...
