| Abstract: | This paper discusses the use of satellite data for studying climate change, with particular emphasis on the inter-annual variability
of the Indian southwest monsoon. Precipitation estimates made from INSAT-1B radiance data are shown to bring out the variations
that occurred in the monsoon rainfall of 1987 and 1988. Outgoing Longwave Radiation derived from INSAT-1B shows good correspondence
with precipitation patterns. |
