Microwave Radiometer for Cloud Carthography: A 22channel groundbased microwave radiometer for atmospheric research
A 22-channel Microwave Radiometer for Cloud Carthography (MICCY) for the profiling of tropospheric temperature, humidity, and cloud liquid water has been developed. The radiometer has 10 channels along the high-frequency wing of the 22.235 GHz water vapor line, 10 channels along the low-frequency side of the 60 GHz oxygen complex, and 2 channels at 90 GHz. Two features make the radiometer a uni...
متن کاملEstimation of cloud microphysical parameters from radar, lidar and microwave radiometer during CLARE'98
In October 1998, the CLARE measurement campaign took place in Chilbolton, England. A variety of collocated instruments performed measurements on the clouds. Among the instruments were a microwave radiometer, lidars and radars. Also, particle size measuring probes were operated during flights through the clouds. Estimates of the cloud microphysical properties may be made by combining the measure...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
متن کاملRetrieval of Mixing Height by Multichannel Microwave Radiometer Observations
The mixing layer height (MLH) defines the top of the layer near the surface where turbulent mixing is occurring. In the recent years, new algorithms have been developed for estimating MLH, though the automatic detection of the top of the mixing layer still remains challenging. For example, when the MLH is estimated from lidar data, the lidar overlap limit may mask the early growth of the mixing...
متن کاملSimulating Passive Microwave Radiometer Designs Using Simulink
The authors have developed a simulation system for a passive microwave radiometer using MATLAB and SIMULINK from The MathWorks, Inc. The system comprises a high-level block diagram simulation for a modern instrument, the Scanning Low Frequency Microwave Radiometer, or SLFMR. The hardware prototype SLFMR, which was designed to map sea surface salinity, was implemented using the classic pulsed no...
