In this paper we review the advancement of passive and integrated microwave biosensors. The interaction of microwave with biological material is discussed in this paper. Passive microwave biosensors are microwave structures, which are fabricated on a substrate and are used for sensing biological materials. On the other hand, integrated biosensors are microwave structures fabricated in standard ...

A new microwave satellite water vapour retrieval for the polar winter atmosphere is presented. The retrieval builds on the work of Miao et al. (2001) and Melsheimer and Heygster (2008), employing auxiliary information for atmospheric conditions and numerical optimization. It was tested using simulated and actual measurements from the Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) satellite instruments. Groun...

THE JOINT Air Force and Navy Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) has a rich heritage of flying new state-of-the art remote sensing instruments to provide timely and critical global weather intelligence to the military users and stable global radiometric observations to the earth science community. In particular, DMSP has had a string of successes flying passive microwave sensors wit...

Satellites with microwave sensors onboard observing land surface from space consist of signal contributions from surface and atmosphere. The upwelling microwave signals are less attenuated by the atmosphere hence, for earthly located features remote sensing satellite microwave sensors have an advantage over visible sensor systems. In order to monitor snow cover with passive microwave data, brig...

On October 18, 2003, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) successfully launched DMSP F16 satellite with the first Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMI/S) instrument aboard. The SSMI/S is a conically-scanning passive microwave radiometer that includes seven temperature-sounding channels peaking below 30 km (channels 1-7), and six peaking between 30 km and 80 km (channels ...

16 The goal of this work is to inter-compare four global land surface emissivity products over 17 various land-cover conditions to assess their consistency. The intercompared retrieved land 18 emissivity products were generated over five-year period (2003-2007) using observations from 19 the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), Special 20 Sensor Microwave Imag...

This paper presents the design and fabrication of proximity coupled feed disk resonator coated with Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Polypyrrole-Chitosan (PPy-CHI) layers as a napropamide sensor. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio was used to obtain the best design of disk resonator and feed line position in 5 GHz resonant frequency. Also, MWCNTs - PPy-CHI layers we...

Passive microwave radiometers have a strong heritage of instruments: the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), the Tropical Rainfall Mapping Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing (AMSR-E) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMI/S). These instruments measure vertically and horizontally polarized brightness temperatures ...

The development and continuity of consistent long-term data records from similar overlapping satellite observations is critical for global monitoring and environmental change assessments. We developed an empirical approach for inter-calibration of satellite microwave brightness temperature (Tb) records over land from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) and Microwave Scan...
