Passive Microwave Radiometers & Climate Monitoring: A Study
A brief overview of the role of passive microwave radiometer in climate monitoring is given in this paper. Passive microwave radiometers have been an important part of the emerging field of climate applications of satellite data. Even though the researchers in passive microwave remote sensing are less as compared to visible and infrared remote sensing, the characteristics of microwave radiomete...
متن کاملRemote sensing of snow with passive microwave radiometers
This report considers passive microwave radiometry and its application for satellite remote sensing of snow at a global scale. The microwaves observed from a dry snow pack are emitted from the ground beneath the snow. The bulk effect of the snow cover on the micro‐ waves is that the measured brightness temperature will decrease. This depends on the mass of the snow (snow water equivalent – SWE)...

متن کاملParametric Rainfall Retrieval Algorithms for Passive Microwave Radiometers
A methodology is described to construct fully parametric rainfall retrieval algorithms for a variety of passive microwave sensors that exist today and are planned for the future. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) is used to retrieve nonraining geophysical parameters. The method then blends these background geophysical parameters with three-dimensional precipi...
متن کاملAtmospheric Phase Correction using Water Vapor Radiometers
We discuss the calibration and use of water vapor radiometers used for atmospheric phase correction on the BIMA array. Over intervals of a few minutes the WVR corrected data are consistent with the thermal noise of 100 microns. On longer time scales the calibration is currently limited by variations in the WVR passband and the atmospheric scale factor between the brightness of the water line an...
