Assessment of the total precipitable water from a sun photometer, microwave radiometer and radiosondes at a continental site in southeastern Europe [PDF]
In this study, we discuss the differences in the total precipitable water (TPW), retrieved from a Cimel sun photometer operating at a continental site in southeast Europe, between version 3 (V3) and version 2 (V2) of the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET)

Feasibility study on application of microwave radiometry to monitor contamination level on insulator materials [PDF]
This paper introduces a novel method for monitoring contamination levels on high voltage insulators based on microwave radiometry. Present contamination monitoring solutions for high voltage insulators are only effective in predicting flashover risk when

Relative humidity vertical profiling using lidar-based synergistic methods in the framework of the Hygra-CD campaign [PDF]
Accurate continuous measurements of relative hu- midity (RH) vertical profiles in the lower troposphere have become a significant scientific challenge. In recent years a synergy of various ground-based remote sensing instru- ments have been successfully ...

The Use of Cryogenic HEMT Amplifiers in Wide Band Radiometers [PDF]
Advances in device fabrication, modelling and design techniques have made wide band, low noise cryogenic amplifiers available at frequencies up to 106 GHz. Microwave radiometry applications as used in radio astronomy capitalize on the low noise and large

Spaceborne High Precision Sea Surface Salinity Remote Sensing by Interferometric Radiometry
The global sea surface salinity (SSS) can be accomplished by means of the L-band microwave radiometers from space, such as European Space Agency's SMOS (soil moisture and ocean salinity) and NASA's Aquarius/SAC-D.
