Abstract: Upwelling radiometric measurements at 90 GHz and three side bands near 183 GHz are used to retrieve water vapor profiles over the ocean surface. An algorithm incorporating a new technique of handling moderate cloud cover ...

Abstract: Radiometric measurements were made by a millimeter-wave imaging radiometer (MIR) at the frequencies of 89, 150, 183.3 ± 1, 183.3 ± 3, 183.3 ± 7, and 220 GHz aboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft at an altitude of about 20 km over ...

Abstract: The strong water vapor absorption line at 183 GHz is explored in this paper for retrieval of total precipitable water in the atmosphere. This strong line has generally been utilized in the past for the profiling of the ...

Abstract: Radiometric measurements at 90 GHz and three sideband frequencies near the peak water vapor absorption line of 183.3 GHz were made with Advanced Microwave Moisture Sounder (AMMS) aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the ...

Abstract: Simultaneous measurements with the millimeter-wave imaging radiometer (MIR), cloud lidar system (CLS), and the MODIS airborne simulator (MAS) were made aboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft over the western Pacific Ocean on 17?18 ...

Abstract: A six-channel airborne total-power Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer (MIR) was recently built to provide measurements of atmospheric water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. The instrument is a cross-track scanner that has ...

Abstract: Here airborne observations of the mixed-phase regions of tropical oceanic rainfall are reported as part of the Kwajalein Experiment. The University of Washington Convair-580 aircraft carrying upward-viewing 21- and 37-GHz ...

Abstract: High-altitude microwave radiometric observations at frequencies near 92 and 183.3 GHz were used to study the potential of retrieving atmospheric water vapor profiles over both land and water. An algorithm based on an ...
