WIRA-C: a compact 142-GHz-radiometer for continuous middle-atmospheric wind measurements [PDF]
Ground-based microwave wind radiometry provides a method to measure horizontal wind speeds at altitudes between 35 and 75 km as has been shown by various previous studies.

Prospects for Detecting Volcanic Events with Microwave Radiometry
Identifying volcanic activity on worlds with optically thick atmospheres with passive microwave radiometry has been proposed as a means of skirting the atmospheric interference that plagues near infrared observations.

Comparative experimental validation of microwave hyperspectral atmospheric soundings in clear-sky conditions [PDF]
Accurate observations of atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles are essential for weather forecasting and climate change detection. Hyperspectral radiance measurements afford a useful means to retrieve these thermodynamic variable fields by ...

Microwave radiometry over Titan's seas and lakes [PDF]
In its passive, or radiometry, mode of operation, the Cassini Radar measures the microwave thermal emission from the surface at a wavelength of 2.2 cm. In doing so, it provides unique insight into surface properties of Saturn's largest moon Titan such as

A Snowfall Detection Algorithm for ATMS Over Ocean, Sea Ice, and Coast
This study developed a snowfall detection algorithm over ocean, sea ice, and coast for the advanced technology microwave sounder (ATMS) onboard both NPP and NOAA-20 satellites. The detection algorithm was trained from collocated observations between ATMS-

Designing medical devices for non-invasive diagnostics using microwave radiometry
Temperature is often used among the information required to diagnose the state of a person’s internal organs, as pathological processes occurring in the human body are usually accompanied by thermal deviations not only on the surface but also inside the ...

The Challenges of Remotely Measuring Oil Slick Thickness
The thickness of oil spills on the sea is an important but poorly studied topic. Means to measure slick thickness are reviewed. More than 30 concepts are summarized. Many of these are judged not to be viable for a variety of scientific reasons. Two means

Physical Retrieval of Rain Rate from Ground-Based Microwave Radiometry
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.
