Microwave Radiometer (MWR) Handbook [PDF]
, 2006 The Microwave Radiometer (MWR) provides time-series measurements of column-integrated amounts of water vapor and liquid water. The instrument itself is essentially a sensitive microwave receiver. That is, it is tuned to measure the microwave emissions of the vapor and liquid water molecules in the atmosphere at specific frequencies.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Noise Mitigation of the SMOS L1C Multi-Angle Brightness Temperature Based on the Lookup Table
Remote SensingOwing to the inherently lower sensitivity of microwave aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs), Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite brightness temperature (TB) measurements exhibit significantly greater system noise than real-aperture ...

Microwave Radiometer Instability Due to Infrequent Calibration [PDF]
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 earlier times) with robust and nonrobust implementations of a new metric.

Radio Pulse Power Distribution of Lightning in Jupiter's 2021–2022 Stealth Superstorms
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Surveys and observations of lightning on Jupiter prior to the NASA Juno mission used night‐side imaging approaches, and a common conclusion was that the optical energy was similar to the highest energy terrestrial lightning flashes, or superbolts.

PM-GCD – a combined IR–MW satellite technique for frequent retrieval of heavy precipitation [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Precipitation retrievals based on measurements from microwave (MW) radiometers onboard low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites can reach high level of accuracy – especially regarding convective precipitation.
