Development of a fast radiative transfer model for ground-based microwave radiometers (ARMS-gb v1.0): validation and comparison to RTTOV-gb [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
This study proposes a fast radiative transfer model, the Advanced Radiative Transfer Modeling System – ground-based (ARMS-gb), designed to simulate brightness temperatures observed by ground-based microwave radiometers.

Whitecap and Wind Stress Observations by Microwave Radiometers: Global Coverage and Extreme Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2019
Whitecaps manifest surface wave breaking that impacts many ocean processes, of which surface wind stress is the driving force. For close to a half century of quantitative whitecap reporting, only a small number of observations are obtained under ...

Comparison of Wind Speeds from Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers with In Situ Observations and ECMWF Data over the Global Ocean

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
This study compares wind speeds derived from five satellite microwave radiometers with those directly observed by buoy-mounted anemometers and the global analyses produced by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model.

Physical Retrieval of Rain Rate from Ground-Based Microwave Radiometry

open access: yesRemote 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.
