Microwave Temperature Sounder II (MWTS-II) has 13 channels in the 60 GHz band, and Microwave Humidity and Temperature Sounder (MWHTS) has 8 channels in the 118 GHz band. They are both carried on Fengyun-3C Satellite (FY-3C) and Fengyun-3D Satellite (FY-3D), which provide measurements for comparing the retrieval accuracies of SSP using 60 GHz and 118 GHz bands. In this study, based on the weighting functions for MWHTS and MWTS-II, the 60 GHz and 118 GHz channel combinations representing 60 GHz and 118 GHz are established, respectively, and the retrieval accuracies of SSP from these two channel combinations are compared in different weather conditions. The experimental results show that the retrieval accuracy of SSP at 60 GHz is higher than that of 118 GHz in clear, cloudy, and rainy sky conditions. In addition, the retrieval experiments of SSP from MWTS-II and MWHTS are also carried out, and the experimental results show that the retrieval accuracy of SSP from MWTS-II is higher. The comparative study of the 60 GHz and 118 GHz for sounding SSP can provide support for the theoretical study of microwave remote sensing of SSP with practical measurements, and further contribute to understand the performance of 60 GHz and 118 GHz in atmospheric sounding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14092260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,8]],"date-time":"2022-05-08T23:27:25Z","timestamp":1652052445000},"page":"2260","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparative Study of the 60 GHz and 118 GHz Oxygen Absorption Bands for Sounding Sea Surface Barometric Pressure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Qiurui","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Technology, Luoyang Normal University, Luoyang 471934, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6521-5414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiaoyang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6098-844X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenzhan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Lanjie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Communication Engineering, Beijing Information Science and Technology University, Beijing 100101, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"148","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jqsrt.2014.08.027","article-title":"Application of surface pressure measurements from O2-band differential absorption radar system in three-dimensional data assimilation on hurricane: Part I.
