Experimental Investigation of Ground Radiation on Dielectric and Brightness Temperature of Soil Moisture and Soil Salinity [PDF]
Soil moisture and salinity are crucial parameters of the Earth’s ecosystem; how to understand the radiation properties of them is of great significance for remote sensing monitoring.

We processed MODIS data received from ground receiving stations into the spatial range of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (China) and the eastern margin of the plateau, and then 283 K was set as the threshold value to remove the area covered by clouds.

Brightness temperature for radio sources [PDF]
AbstractIn this work, using the database of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), we determined the brightness temperatures, TB for a sample of 167 radio sources. The value of TB is in a range of log TB(K) = 10.46 to 20.08, which suggested that the boosting factors are in a range of δ = 0.41 to 41.26.

Development and Evaluation of a New Method for AMSU-A Cloud Detection over Land
Satellite data are the main source of information for operational data assimilation systems, and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) data are one of the types of satellite data that contribute most to the reduction of numerical forecast errors ...

TITAN'S SURFACE BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURES
Radiance from the surface of Titan can be detected from space through a spectral window of low opacity in the thermal infrared at 19 μm (530 cm–1). By combining Composite Infrared Spectrometer observations from Cassini's first four years, we have mapped the latitude distribution of zonally averaged surface brightness temperatures.

Limiting Brightness Temperature for Synchrotron Sources [PDF]
AbstractThe maximum brightness temperature limit for synchrotron sources derived from inverse Compton catastrophe is usually taken to be 1012 K. Readhead has argued in 1994 that the equipartition brightness temperature may be a better estimate for Tb,lim. It provides a value of 5 × 1010 K.
