Combining Microwave Radiometer and Wind Profiler Radar Measurements for High-Resolution Atmospheric Humidity Profiling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A self-consistent remote sensing physical method to retrieve atmospheric humidity high-resolution profiles by synergetic use of a microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) and wind profiler radar (WPR) is illustrated. The ...
High-Repetition Millimeter-Wave Passive Remote Sensing of Humidity and Hydrometeor Profiles from Elliptical Orbit Constellations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential of an elliptical-orbit Flower Constellation of Millimeter-Wave Radiometers (FLORAD) for humidity profile and precipitating cloud observations is analyzed and discussed. The FLORAD mission scientific requirements ...
Analysis of Catania Flash Flood Case Study by Using Combined Microwave and Infrared Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, the analysis of an extreme convective event atypical for the winter season, which occurred on 21 February 2013 on the east coast of Sicily and caused a flash flood over Catania, is presented. In just 1 h, ...

Measurement of Low Amounts of Precipitable Water Vapor Using Ground-Based Millimeterwave Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extremely dry conditions characterized by amounts of precipitable water vapor (PWV) as low as 1?2 mm commonly occur in high-latitude regions during the winter months. While such dry atmospheres carry only a few percent of ...
