Abstract
Some possibilities of using the module of remote sensing the atmosphere temperature and humidity (MTVZA) of the Russian meteorological satellite METEOR-3M and American DMSP SSM/I radiometers in studies of the ocean-atmosphere heat and dynamic interaction are discussed. The results of imitation of the MTVZA brightness temperatures based on the data of oceanographic, meteorological, and aerologic measurements in the North Atlantic from vessels (experiment ATLANTEX-90) and their comparison with the actual measurement data derived from the F-08 (DMSP) SSM/I radiometer are presented. The comparison was made at the wavelengths 1.35 cm, 1.6 cm, and 8 mm, which are similar for both radiometers and give a reliable information on the integral water vapor content in the atmosphere and liquid water content in the clouds, as well as the vertical turbulent heat and momentum fluxes at the ocean-atmosphere boundary. Comparison of data obtained from the radiometer MTVZA with the data of measurements from the radiometer SSM/I of the DMSP satellite F-13 (at the wavelength 1.35 cm) in April and May, 2002 was done for the areas of the North Atlantic characterized by a strong variability of hydrometeorological parameters and an intensity of natural MCW radiation.
