                         have been produced from 1987 to the present using measurements 
                         from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) series of 
                         the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). The aim of this paper 
                         is twofold: to present the recent efforts to improve the quality 
                         control (QC) of historical antenna temperature of the SSM/I sensor 
                         (19872008) and how this improvement impacts the different 
                         hydrological products that are generated at NOAA/National 
                         Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). 
                         Beginning in 2005, the DMSP Special Sensor Microwave 
                         Imager/Sounder (SSMI/S) has been successfully operating on the 
                         F-16, F-17, and F-18 satellites. The second objective of this 
                         paper is focused on the application of SSMI/S channels to evaluate 
                         the performance of several hydrological products using the 
                         heritage of existing SSM/I algorithms and to develop an improved 
                         strategy to extend the SSM/I time series into the SSMI/S era, 
                         starting with data in 2009 for F-17. The continuity of 
                         hydrological products from SSM/I to SSMI/S has shown to be a 
                         valuable contribution for the precipitation and climate monitoring 
                         community but several sensor issues must be accounted for to meet 
                         this objective.",
