RISDetermination of an Amazon Hot Reference Target for the On-Orbit Calibration of Microwave Radiometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physically based model is developed to determine hot calibration reference brightness temperatures (TBs) over depolarized regions in the Amazon rain forest. The model can be used to evaluate the end-to-end calibration ...
Validation and Development of Melting Layer Models Using Constraints by Active/Passive Microwave Observations of Rain and the Wind-Roughened Ocean Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physically based method is developed to estimate the microphysical structure of the melting layer in stratiform rain using airborne observations by a dual-frequency radar and a 10.7-GHz radiometer. The method employs a ...
Microwave Radiometer Calibration on Decadal Time Scales Using On-Earth Brightness Temperature References: Application to the TOPEX Microwave Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described to calibrate a satellite microwave radiometer operating near 18?37 GHz on decadal time scales for the purposes of climate studies. The method uses stable on-earth brightness temperature references ...

The Effect of Atmospheric Water Vapor Content on the Performance of Future Wide-Swath Ocean Altimetry Measurement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easurement of sea surface height (SSH) over a finite swath along satellite tracks has been planned for future space missions. The effect of water vapor in the troposphere on the delay of radar signal must be corrected for ...
