Non-Gaussian Bayesian retrieval of tropical upper tropospheric cloud ice and water vapour from Odin-SMR measurements
Improved Odin-SMR retrievals of upper tropospheric water are presented. The new retrieval algorithm retrieves humidity and cloud ice mass simultaneously and takes into account of cloud inhomogeneities. Both these aspects are introduced for microwave limb sounding inversions for the first time....
