Branch Mission:
The Sensor Physics Branch develops advanced algorithms to retrieve the vertical profiles of  temperature, moisture, cloud water, rainfall rate, and trace gases from research and operational satellite sensors, validates and analyzes the
retrieved products for weather and climate applications, develops and maintains advanced radiative transfer and emissivity models for satellite data assimilation, and oversees the development of future satellite instruments
