Perspectives

This paper is important because it establishes the scientific pedigree of the TMI 1B11 V-8 brightness temperature product as a climate data record. TMI brightness temperature observations provide the longest available time series for any single microwave remote sensor, which is invaluable for global climate change investigations.
