Description
The Advanced Infra-Red WAter Vapour Estimator (AIRWAVE) algorithm was developed to derive the Total Column of Water Vapor for the ATSR-like instruments. AIRWAVE exploits TIR channels radiances over the water surfaces in cloud-free scenarios.
The first version of the dataset (v1) was part of the G-VAP archive. A second version of the code was produced (v2) where some of the shortcomings of the previous version of the algorithm have been corrected. Validation results against products derived from the SSMI/S mission and the ARSA radiosonde database highlight the quality of both v1 and v2 datasets.
In the frame of an EUMETSAT project, we are currently extending the AIRWAVE algorithm to the measurements of the SLSTR sensor aboard Sentinel-3.
