compute the GPM/GMI satellite brightness temperatures at each channel. Nevertheless, ECMWF analysis data is a 0.125° x 0.125° resolution product (6 h temporal resolution). Therefore, it has been necessary to interpolate the ECMWF analysis fields to the GMI footprint, in both time and space. This is done by employing a simple interpolation scheme that interpolates the ECMWF atmospheric and surface analysis fields in time and space to exact location of the GMI radiometric measurements.
