Description:The Nimbus-5 spacecraft carries infrared and microwave radiometers for sensing the temperature distribution of the atmosphere. Methods have been developed for obtaining temperature profiles from the combined set of infrared and microwave radiation measurements. Part I of this report described the algorithms used to determine (a) vertical temperature and water vapor profiles, (b) cloud height, fractional coverage, and liquid water content, (c) surface temperature, and (d) total outgoing longwave radiation flux. This second part of the report presents the various meteorological results obtained from the application of the Nimbus-5 sounding data processing system during 1973 and 1974.
