Microwave Radiometer Inter-calibration using the Vicarious Calibration Method

The vicarious cold and warm calibration methods of Ruf, and Brown and Ruf, have been used to assess the calibration of the WindSat radiometer as well as the biases of the TMI, SSM/I F13 and SSM/I F14 radiometers relative to WindSat. WindSat biases computed as a function of scan position are consistent with a roll offset of the instrument of .2
