A new calibration technique for ground-based microwave radiometer
ISAPE2012, 2012A new calibration method for ground-based radiometer is proposed herein. In this method, the relationship between atmosphere opacity and viewing angle is used as a constraint for deriving the system calibration response. The brightness temperatures have been compared that calculated with the absorption model of Liebe's MPM and measured by the QWF-2 ...

A ground‐based microwave radiometer dedicated to stratospheric ozone monitoring
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1998A microwave radiometer has been developed for long‐term measurements of strato‐mesospheric ozone profiles at midlatitudes. The instrument located at the Bordeaux Observatory, France (45°N) is operated in the framework of the French atmospheric station, of the European Alpine station belonging to the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change ...

Rainfall Intensity Estimation by Ground-Based Dual-Frequency Microwave Radiometers
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2001Abstract Many investigators have used satellite data to derive rainfall intensity and to compare them with rain gauge data. However, there has always been a problem: what is the optimal time period for the two different types of data? A set of well-controlled data collected by ground-based dual-frequency microwave radiometers at the National Central ...

A field experiment over wheat with ground-based microwave radiometer
SPIE Proceedings, 2010A field experiment was performed in winter wheat farmland at Baoding (Hebei province, China) from 13 Feb. 2009 to 19 Feb. 2009. In the experiment, brightness temperature of 8 channels (6.925GHz, 10.65GHz, 18.7GHz and 36.5GHz, horizontal and vertical polarization of each frequency), soil moisture, land surface temperature, snow character, and sublayer

Monitoring the stratospheric ozone profile with ground-based microwave radiometer
Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002The destructive effects of stratospheric pollution (e.g. CFC-compounds) to the atmospheric ozone have been known for several years. Continuous monitoring of ozone in the stratosphere helps us to learn more about the chemistry of ozone in the atmosphere.

Quality Analysis and Application of Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer Data
2019 International Conference on Meteorology Observations (ICMO), 2019This paper analyzes the detection principle of microwave radiometers and the composition of base data, and introduces a new method to measure data reliability, i.e., to measure the stability of the voltage value based on the lv0 data shear. Through continuous analysis of stability of the Vbb_nd value as well as comparison and analysis of data obtained ...

Ground-Based Detection of Aircraft Icing Conditions Using Microwave Radiometers
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1986The potential role of ground-based remote sensors in the detection of atmospheric conditions conducive to aircraft icing is evaluated. Zenith measurements of liquid water and profiles of atmospheric temperature were made by microwave radiometers located at Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado. Radiometer data and sky cover observations for
