Abstract
The measurements from satellite microwave imaging and sounding channels are simultaneously utilized to retrieve the profiles of atmospheric temperature, water vapor and cloud water. It is shown that the radiative transfer model including multiple scattering from clouds and precipitation can significantly improve the accuracy.
