On the Applicability of Ground-Based Microwave Radiometers for Urban Boundary Layer Research. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel)Significant knowledge gaps exist in our understanding of urban boundary layer processes, particularly the hygrothermal state. The earth system community has successfully used microwave radiometers for several decades. However, the applicability in complex urban environments has never been adequately tested.

Physical Retrieval of Rain Rate from Ground-Based Microwave Radiometry
Remote Sensing, 2021 Because of its clear physical meaning, physical methods are more often used for space-borne microwave radiometers to retrieve the rain rate, but they are rarely used for ground-based microwave radiometers that are very sensitive to rainfall.

Microwave Radiometer Instability Due to Infrequent Calibration
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 We directly quantify the effect of infrequent calibration on the stability of microwave radiometer temperature measurements (where a power measurement for the unknown source is acquired at a fixed time, but calibration data are acquired at variable ...

Investigation of the adiabatic assumption for estimating cloud micro- and macrophysical properties from satellite and ground observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Cloud properties from both ground-based as well as from geostationary passive satellite observations have been used previously for diagnosing aerosol–cloud interactions. In this investigation, a 2-year data set together with four selected case studies

An integrated approach toward the incorporation of clouds in the temperature retrievals from microwave measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2014 In this paper, we address the characterization of clouds and its inclusion in microwave retrievals in order to study its effect on tropospheric temperature profiles measured by TEMPERA radiometer.

Retrieval of tropospheric water vapour by using spectra of a 22 GHz radiometer [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2011 In this paper, we present an approach to retrieve tropospheric water vapour profiles from pressure broadened emission spectra at 22 GHz, measured by a ground based microwave radiometer installed in the south of Bern at 905 m.
