Abstract
Atmospheric water vapor plays a vital role in global climate change. It not only affects local weather and climate but also influences the global water cycle and energy balance. Therefore, an accurate understanding of the atmospheric water vapor content and its changes are of great importance for forecasting climate, understanding global climate change, and studying the greenhouse effect. In this paper, the inversion of atmospheric water vapor content was conducted by FY3B/MERSI data, and verification was made by comparing with the sounding data, ground water vapor pressure data, and AQUA/MODIS water vapor content data. The results show that FY3B/MERSI atmospheric water vapor content has a significant positive correlation with the sounding water vapor content, ground water vapor pressure data, and AQUA/MODIS water vapor content data. Among them, the correlation with the sounding water vapor content is the most significant. An inversion correction model of MERSI atmospheric water vapor content can be established to improve the inversion accuracy.
