Matrosov S. Y. and D. D. Turner (March 2018): Retrieving mean temperature of atmospheric liquid water layers using microwave radiometer measurements.

Not exact matches

Finnish Meteorological Institute has been doing estimates of two essential sea ice parameters — namely, sea ice concentration (SIC) and sea ice thickness (SIT)-- for the Bohai Sea using a combination of a thermodynamic sea ice model and Earth observation (EO) data from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and 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).

To reduce the variability and bias introduced into the QME AERI / LBLRTM radiance residuals, the moisture profiles from each radiosonde are scaled such that its total precipitable water vapor matches that retrieved from the microwave radiometer (MWR), and these scaled profiles are used to drive the model.

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..)

Microwave radiometers are very sensitive gauges of energy transmitted from the Earth which scientists can use to judge the amount of water, ice or water vapour underneath the spacecraft's flight path.

NASA Earth Observatory image by Jesse Allen, using data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 AMSR - 2 sensor on the Global Change Observation Mission 1st - Water (GCOM - W1) satellite.

Note: The Sea Ice Index input data comes from the passive microwave instrument on the DMSP satellites, but IMS uses the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR - E) instrument on the Aqua satellite from 2002microwave instrument on the DMSP satellites, but IMS uses the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR - E) instrument on the Aqua satellite from 2002Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR - E) instrument on the Aqua satellite from 2002 to 2011.

To monitor Arctic sea ice, NSIDC primarily has used the NASA Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer — Earth Observing System (AMSR - E) instrument on the NASA Aqua satellite and the Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM / I) instrument on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite.

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.
