This document was provided in September 2007 the the RTTOV group to provides
emissivity information which are suitable for input to RTTOV, both in the
IR and MW. This is in response to specific user feedback given in the NWP working
group of the International TOVS Working Group, where users expressed
interest in either an emissivity or an emissivity parameter for Land Surfaces.
