Abstract: Error analysis of air temperature profile retrievals with microwave sounder data based on minimization of covariance matrix of estimation error is conducted. Additive noise is taken into account in the observation data with microwave sounder onboard satellite. Method for air temperature profile retrievals based on minimization of difference of brightness temperature between model driven microwave sounder data and actual microwave sounder data is also proposed. The experimental results shows reasonable air temperature retrieval accuracy can be achieved by the proposed method.
