By understanding the physical processes associated with energy emission at these wavelengths, scientists can calculate a variety of surface and atmospheric parameters from these measurements, including air Temperature , Sea Surface Temperature , Salinity , Sea Ice , Precipitation , the total amount of Water Vapor and the total amount of liquid water in the atmospheric column directly above or below the instrument. Examples of microwave radiometers on meteorological satellites include the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager , Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer and Microwave Sounding Unit . EXTERNAL LINKS
