Sentences with phrase «passive microwave radiometer»

This hindcast uses two time - varying inputs: 10 - meter wind vectors from the atmospheric model NAVGEM (Navy Global Environmental Model, Hogan et al. 2014) run at the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC), and analyses of ice concentrations (also produced at FNMOC) from passive microwave radiometer data (SSM / I).

Meng, H., et al. (2017), A 1DVAR - based snowfall rate retrieval algorithm for passive microwave radiometers, J. Geophys.

With MIS delayed until NPOESS C2, there is a need to continue the long (28 - year) climate data record of sea ice extent and concentration collected by passive microwave radiometers; continued scatterometer and altimeter measurements are also required.

Not exact matches

These were based on U.S. Navy, Canadian and Danish aerial reconnaissance data and from retrievals from advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), passive microwave, and other satellite instruments

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.

The primary sources of the post-1972 data are the hemispheric fields of sea - ice concentration from (1) the U.S. National Ice Center (NIC), whose weekly grids (derived primarily from satellite data) span the period 1972 - 1994, and (2) the satellite passive - microwave grids from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) / Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM / I) period, 1978 - 97 (Parkinson and othermicrowave grids from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) / Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM / I) period, 1978 - 97 (Parkinson and otherMicrowave Radiometer (SMMR) / Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM / I) period, 1978 - 97 (Parkinson and otherMicrowave / Imager (SSM / I) period, 1978 - 97 (Parkinson and others, 1999).

In the original configuration of NPOESS, the ocean surface vector wind data record established by QuikSCAT was to be replaced by passive microwave measurements of wind speed and direction by the polarimetric CMIS radiometer.

Anyway, as I haven't been motivated to attack the snow which has buried my D / W and am thus marooned, I looked around for information on Dickie radiometers, the sort of electronic device used in passive microwave sensors.
