Abstract
It has been shown that over the tropical oceans the total precipitable water can be estimated from the infrared radiometer data (10.5–12.5 μm) of the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite. The satellite derived values are in good agreement with the radiosonde data, with a 0.53 g/cm 2 rms difference. The weekly mean distribution of the precipitable water over the tropical ocean of western Pacific has been obtained in both summer and winter seasons. The pattern of this distribution is in reasonable agreement with other authors and climatological data.
