Study of the simultaneous physical retrieval method for meteorological parameters over the continental plateau of China

It is common knowledge that continental retrieval especially for Qinghai-Xizang Plateau has not been solved to date. In order to explore applicable inverse model and method for continent including the plateau, in this study authors use an improved simultaneous physical retrieval method hereafter referred to as the ISPRM, for computing meteorological parameters from NOAA-10 satellite TOVS data. The retrieval results verified by nearby radiosondes show that the ISPRM is more applicable for the continental plateau.
