Comparison of brightness temperatures observed from ground-based microwave radiometers during TUC
The agreement of two ground-based microwave radiometers during the Temperature, hUmidity, and Cloud (TUC) profiling campaign has been evaluated in terms of measured brightness temperature. To account effectively the instruments’ specifications, we discuss and estimate an equivalent monochromatic frequency, which significantly reduces the bias introduced by ideal monochromatic modelling. The eff...
متن کاملCombining Data from Ground-based Microwave Radiometers and Other Instruments in Temperature and Humidity Profile Retrievals
Ground-based microwave radiometry offers a new opportunity to automate upper air observations by providing information on temperature and humidity profiles as well as the integrated water vapour and liquid water amounts with high time resolution. To improve their relatively poor vertical resolution and provide a more complete picture of the vertical profile, radiometer observations can be combi...
متن کاملTemperature and humidity profile retrievals from ground-based microwave radiometers during TUC
Thermodynamic atmospheric profiles have been retrieved from ground-based microwave radiometers during the Temperature, hUmidity, and Cloud (TUC) profiling campaign. A variety of inversion methods is presented, in terms of requirements, advantages, and limitations. Results confirm the theoretical expectation that retrievals’ accuracy and resolution degrade steadily with height up to 3 km, then m...
متن کاملAn International Network of Ground-based Microwave Radiometers for the Assimilation of Temperature and Humidity Profiles into Nwp Models
Temperature and humidity retrievals from an international network of ground-based microwave radiometers (MWR) have been collected and synchronized to exploit the potential for data assimilation into Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) modeling. This activity is carried on in preparation to the HyMeX Special Observing Period starting in September 2012. The domain under analysis is the HyMeX West ...
متن کاملAccuracy of ground-based microwave radiometer and balloon-borne measurements during the WVIOP2000 field experiment
We discuss the performances of a set of four microwave water vapor radiometers operating in the 20–30-GHz band during a field experiment, with an emphasis on calibration and achievable accuracy. The field experiment was conducted at the Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program’s field site in north central Oklahoma, and was focused on clear-sky water vapor measurements b...
