Classification of snow cover and precipitation using the special sensor microwave imager
Abstract
The special sensor microwave imager (SSMI) is a seven‐channel microwave radiometer which has dual polarized channels at 19, 37, and 85 GHz and a vertically polarized channel at 22 GHz. A detailed evaluation of all SSMI channels is made in arriving at the optimum channel selection for the global identification of precipitation and snow cover without the use of any ancillary information. The resulting algorithm takes the form of a decision tree which uses the dual polarized channels at 19 GHz and the vertically polarized channels at 22 and 85 GHz. These four channels enable the identification of precipitation from all other atmospheric and surface features, including snow cover.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
