Uncertainties in Microwave Properties of Frozen Precipitation: Implications for Remote Sensing and Data Assimilation (2010, background): “The 157-GHz channel, however, should be substantially less sensitive to error sources from lower atmospheric levels in the presence of adequate IWP (e.g., Bennartz and Bauer 2003).”
Detection of tropical deep convective clouds from AMSU-B water vapor channels measurements (2005, methodology): “For precipitating clouds, the three water vapor channels are independent of the surface emissivity [Staelin and Chen, 2000; Bennartz and Bauer, 2003], so the surface emissivities at these frequencies are set to a typical value of 0.7 to represent oceans [Muller et al., 1994].”
