Abstract: A novel microwave technique for simultaneously retrieving cirrus ice water path (IWP) and characteristic ice particle size is described. The retrieval algorithm exploits radiance measurements made at 150 and 220 GHz by the ...

Abstract: Autocorrelation analysis was applied to data acquired by NASA?s Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer during the 1992?93 Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment to quantify the spatial ...

Abstract: The scattering properties of cirrus clouds at submillimeter-wave frequencies are analyzed and characterized in this paper. This study lays a theoretical foundation for using radiometric measurements to investigate and ...
