Availability of vertical and horizontal polarization channels at frequencies of 23.8 and 18.7 GHz in the MTVZA-GY instrument allows applying polarization difference technique to retrieve the integrated water vapor content of the atmosphere. Similar techniques have been already developed for AMSR-E instrument. The paper proposes an adaptation of such a technique described in (Deeter, 2007) for MTVZA-GY data. It has required additional investigation and deriving new coefficients for the regression relation. A good correlation between the results of the calculations by the obtained regression relation and weather balloon data has been demonstrated. Also, an analysis showed a good correlation of the calculations based on MTVA-GY data and the GMI product provided by Remote Sensing Systems. Evaluation of the results of integrated water vapor content retrieval using the developed technique indicates the possibility of measurement with a relative error of less than 10 % in the range of 10 to 60 mm.
Keywords: remote sensing, integrated water vapor content, MTVZA-GY, microwave sounding, retrieving
