    Abstract
    Remote sensing of each of passive microwave channels enables one to estimate the atmospheric parameters over oceans on a repetitive basis throughout the year. Such a data base forms a useful tool in the study of complex weather phenomena. With India's plans to include a microwave radiometer on board the forthcoming satellite Oceansat-1 in 1998, there will be incrasing interest among oceanographers and meteorologists to use the satellite-derived meteorological parameters in weather studies, especially the Indian monsoon. This paper proposes a standard method to retrieve or unpack the atmospheric parameters from microwave satellite data, average tham over a week, map them into 1 degrees x 1 degrees grid and display them either as plots of equal intensities or as colour coded images. The complete source code in FORTRAN 77 for performing each of the above tasks is availabel at the IAMG anonymous ftp site for the benefit of potential users. As an example, we present results for the sea surface winds and atmospheric water vapour over the tropical Indian Ocean for the months of January 1989 obtained by using the method described in the paper
