Abstract: An extended Kalman-Bucy filter has been implemented for atmospheric temperature profile retrievals from observations made using the Scanned Microwave Spectrometer (SCAMS) instrument carried on the Nimbus 6 satellite. This ...

Abstract: Ground-based microwave measurements of atmospheric emission at 5 wavelengths near 1 cm have enabled separate determinations of the water vapor and liquid water contents of the atmosphere. Observations during a frontal ...

Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of microwave emission from the earth, in the oxygen band near 60 GHz and the water vapor line near 183 GHz, permit inference of atmospheric temperature as a function of two variables: pressure and ...

Abstract: Satellite-borne radiometers have been used with increasing success to monitor geophysical parameters. The majority of the statistical retrieval schemes currently in use for estimating atmospheric temperature profiles are ...

Abstract: This article discusses remote sensing of atmospheric temperatures with the NEMS microwave spectrometer on the Nimbus 5 satellite, and the accuracy with which atmospheric temperatures can be determined by NEMS. The sensitivity ...

Abstract: Passive microwave imagine of O2emissions using the 118.75-GHz(1?) resonance has been investigated for tropospheric and stratosphere remote sensing of atmospheric temperature and precipitation. An imaging millimeter-wave ...

Abstract: The passive microwave spectrometer on the Nimbus 5 satellite has two channels that measure atmospheric water vapor and liquid water abundances over ocean. Observed water vapor abundances range up to 6 g cm?2 and differ ...

Abstract: An imaging microwave radiometer with eight double-sideband channels centered on the 118-GHz oxygen resonance was flown on a high-altitude aircraft over a tropical cyclone in the Coral Sea. The measurements clearly resolved ...

Abstract: The microwave spectrometer on the Nimbus 5 earth observatory satellite has been used to measure thermal radiation in five frequency bands between 22.235 and 58.8 GHz. Clouds were observed to affect less than 0.5% of the ...
