Retrieval of Atmospheric Temperature Profiles from AMSU-A Measurement Using Artificial Neural Network and Its Applications for Estimating Tropical Cyclone Intensity for ‘Gonu’ and ‘Nargis’ - Monitoring and Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Climate Change - page 403

have been downloaded from NOAA Class system. The MSLP and wind speed
data near the cyclone were obtained from the Physical Oceanography
Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) at the NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, CA. Authors also thank for anonymous referees whose
suggestions helped us to improve the paper content.
