What benefits do microwave observations offer to the mix of GOES, conventional in situ, and numerical modeling data? (Check the boxes for all answers that apply, and leave those that do not apply unchecked. Then click DONE.)

	a) Microwave observations can penetrate clouds and sense surface properties.
	b) Microwave observations allow for the improved remote monitoring of fires/hot spots.
	c) Microwave observations allow for the analysis of moderate and heavy precipitation over data-sparse oceanic regions.
	d) Microwave observations of total precipitable water are available for model verification and the improvement of precipitation forecasts.
