Abstract
Some problems of microwave radiometric methods for monitoring fields of total atmospheric moisture content from satellites in areas of hurricane formation in the tropical regions of the Atlantic are considered. The possibilities of using polar-orbiting satellites (DMSP, EOS Aqua, GCOM-W1) for these tasks are analyzed a feature of which is the presence of gaps in satellite data (blind spots) resulting from divergence of scanning bands at lower latitudes. It is shown through a number of examples that the joint use of various satellites makes it possible to reduce the influence of this effect and obtain a clear picture of the evolution of atmospheric humidity fields in the tropical Atlantic and their connection with the evolution of tropical waves that initiate the formation of hurricanes.
