Abstract A new compilation of the complex refractive index of liquid water is presented, spanning temperatures from 240 $240$ (near homogeneous freezing) to 300 $300$ K and wavelengths from 0.034 $0.034$ μm to 10 m. The real part of the refractive index is derived using the Kramers–Kronig relation, where the imaginary part is constrained by ...

Bipolarization L-band microwave radiometer [PDF]
A new bipolarization L-band microwave radiometer designed to measure soil moisture from an unmanned helicopter is presented. The schematic of the radiometer and an overview of the radiometer parts circuits are considering. The main features of the implementation of circuit and technical solutions are considered.

Abstract We find observational evidence for mountain waves (MWs) and secondary gravity waves (2GWs) in the OH*(3‐1) layer above Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. On the night of 21–22 May 2018, the Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) obtained temperatures at ∼84 ${\sim} 84$ km.

Abstract Fundamental questions remain about where and when convection will occur within African easterly waves. In this study, we aim to better understand the dynamical processes that govern moist convective organization at the meso‐alpha scale in tropical easterly waves using NASA airborne field campaigns and satellite observations.

Abstract Uncertainty in anthropogenic forcing driven by aerosol‐cloud interactions (aci) limits our ability to infer the sensitivity of the Earth system to forcing from historical records. The driver of aci is the change in cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) due to changes in aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

ADC Performance in Microwave Radiometer
The configuration of a microwave switched radiometer is considered. The grounds that guide developers in determining the requirements for the ADC sampling rate are analyzed. It is shown that the ADC rate can be significantly reduced if an additional analog integrator is installed at the ADC input. Statistical modeling of such a circuit has been carried

A Novel Approach to Enhancing Spatial Resolution in Submillimeter‐Wave Ice Cloud Parameter Retrieval
This study summarizes research that we reduce the impact of ice cloud horizontal heterogeneity in sensor footprint on retrieval. Specifically, we have mitigated the impact of the ice cloud plane parallelism assumption by improving the retrieval resolution.

Sensitivity of microwave radiometers with square - law and linear detectors
Stochastic analysis of modulation microwave radiometers with square - law and linear detectors is presented in the paper. Assuming ideal detector characteristics it is shown that in typical applications, i.e., in very low power measurements, a type of ...

Abstract Freshwater estuaries are natural contributors to the carbon cycle, including production and emission of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas (GHG); however, estimates of their contribution to global GHG emissions is uncertain. Recent research has identified the potential for quantifying limnetic methane using optical remote sensing coupled ...
