Sentences with phrase «frequency microwave radiometer»

More generally, we are using multiple sensor & associated data sets (low frequency microwave radiometers, ocean color, sea surface temperature, wind, wave, altimeter products, model and in situ data..)

Not exact matches

It also boasts a radiometer that operates at microwave frequencies.

Microwave radars of the European Remote - Sensing Satellites (ERS), radiometers of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) and the dual - frequency altimeter TOPEX - POSEIDON have shown their ability to improve the description and location of storms, especially in the case of tropical cyclones for which very few traditional observations exist.

The Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM / I) radiometers provide brightness temperatures at three different frequencies (19.35, 37.0 and 85.5 GHz) from which are estimated: wind speed when not raining, integrated atmospheric water vapor content, liquid water content, and a rain index.

The Microwave Radiometer - High Frequency (MWRHF) provides time - series measurements of brightness temperatures from two channels centered at 90 and 150 GHz.

Microwave radiometers are a passive measurement technique; that is, they monitor Earth's own heat energy emissions in the 1 - to 200 - gigahertz frequency range.

For practical purposes, SSTsubskin can be well approximated to the measurement of surface temperature by a microwave radiometer operating in the 6 - 11 GHz frequency range, but the relationship is neither direct nor invariant to changing physical conditions or to the specific geometry of the microwave measurements.

The subskin SST, SSTsubskin, is representative of the SST at the bottom of the skin temperature layer and is usually the value measured by a low - frequency (6 - 10 GHz) microwave radiometer.

The cancellation of CMIS leaves JAXA's AMSR - E and the U.S. Navy's WindSat as the only low - frequency, high - spatial - resolution microwave radiometers in space.
