RISMeasurements of Ocean Surface Backscattering Using an Airborne 94-GHz Cloud Radar—Implication for Calibration of Airborne and Spaceborne W-Band Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Backscattering properties of the ocean surface have been widely used as a calibration reference for airborne and spaceborne microwave sensors. However, at millimeter-wave frequencies, the ocean surface backscattering ...
A 94-GHz Cloud Radar System on a NASA High-Altitude ER-2 Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 94-GHz (W band) Cloud Radar System (CRS) has been developed and flown on a NASA ER-2 high-altitude (20 km) aircraft. The CRS is a fully coherent, polarimetric Doppler radar that is capable of detecting clouds and ...
Ice Cloud Retrievals and Analysis with the Compact Scanning Submillimeter Imaging Radiometer and the Cloud Radar System during CRYSTAL FACE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Submillimeter-wave radiometry is a new technique for determining ice water path (IWP) and particle size in upper-tropospheric ice clouds. The first brightness temperatures images of ice clouds above 340 GHz were measured ...
The EDOP Radar System on the High-Altitude NASA ER-2 Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NASA ER-2 high-altitude (20 km) aircraft that emulates a satellite view of precipitation systems carries a variety of passive and active (lidar) remote sensing instruments. A new Doppler weather radar system at X band ...
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 ...
