Upwelling Brightness TemperaturesTables 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 and Figures 5.3 to 5.5 provide the same statistics for thesimulated upwelling TBs for all relevant SSM/I – SSMIS channels within the CRDdatabase. Again, large variations may be observed, which are due to the wide range ofdifferent meteorological and environmental conditions of the simulated events.13
