Intercalibration between HIRS/2 and HIRS/3 channel 12 based on physical considerations

High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) brightness temperatures at channel 12 (<i>T</i><sub>12</sub>) can be used to assess the water vapour content of the upper troposphere. The transition from HIRS/2 to HIRS/3 in 1999 involved a shift in the central wavelength...
