Ground- and ship-based microwave radiometer measurements during EUREC4A [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data
During the EUREC4A field study, microwave radiometric measurements were performed at Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO) and aboard RV Meteor and RV Maria S Merian in the downstream winter trades of the North Atlantic.

Tropospheric water and temperature retrieval for ASMUWARA

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2006
The retrieval of tropospheric water and temperature with the ground-based and automatically operating radiometer system ASMUWARA (All-Sky MUlti WAvelength RAdiometer) is described.

System for indicating fuel-efficient aircraft altitude [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
A method and apparatus are provided for indicating the altitude at which an aircraft should fly so the W/d ratio (weight of the aircraft divided by the density of air) more closely approaches the optimum W/d for the aircraft.

Comparison of brightness temperatures observed from ground-based microwave radiometers during TUC

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2006
The agreement of two ground-based microwave radiometers during the Temperature, hUmidity, and Cloud (TUC) profiling campaign has been evaluated in terms of measured brightness temperature. To account effectively the instruments' specifications, we discuss and estimate an equivalent monochromatic frequency, which significantly reduces the bias ...

Distribution Characteristics of Water Vapor and Liquid Water in the Warm Zone of a Stratiform Cloud in North China

open access: yes应用气象学报
The water vapor content is a crucial factor in assessing cloud water resources, and the content and distribution of cloud liquid water are important reference indicators for determining the quantity and location of catalysts in weather modification ...

Evaluation of brightness temperature from a forward model of ground-based microwave radiometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ground-based microwave radiometers are getting great attention in recent years due to their capability to profile the temperature and humidity at high temporal and vertical resolution in the lower troposphere.

Application of ground-based, multi-channel microwave radiometer in the nowcasting of intense convective weather through instability indices of the atmosphere

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2011
A ground-based microwave radiometer gives the possibility of providing continuously available temperature and humidity profiles of the troposphere, from which instability indices of the atmosphere could be derived.

S193 radiometer brightness temperature precision/accuracy for SL2 and SL3 [PDF]

open access: yes
The precision and accuracy with which the S193 radiometer measured the brightness temperature of ground scenes is investigated. Estimates were derived from data collected during Skylab missions.

Study of the atmospheric conditions at Cerro Armazones using astronomical data

open access: yes, 2016
Aims: We studied the precipitable water vapour (PWV) content near Cerro Armazones and discuss the potential use of our technique of modelling the telluric absorbtion lines for the investigation of other molecular layers.
