Abstract:

Abstract Information about the characteristics of ice particles in clouds is necessary for improving our understanding of the states, processes, and subsequent modeling of clouds and precipitation for numerical weather prediction and climate analysis. Two NASA passive microwave radiometers, the satellite-borne Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) and the aircraft-borne Conical Scanning Millimeter-Wave Imaging Radiometer (CoSMIR), measure vertically and horizontally polarized microwaves emitted by clouds (including precipitating particles) and Earth’s surface below.

Total precipitable water (TPW) of satellite-borne microwave radiometer retrievals is compared with the data that were collected from 49 island radiosonde stations for the period 2007–2015. Great consistency was found between TPW measurements made by radiosonde and eight satellite-borne microwave radiometers, including SSMI-F13, SSMI-F14, SSMIS-F16, SSMIS-F17, AMSR-E, AMSR-2, GMI, and WindSat. Mean values of the TPW differences for eight satellites ranged from −0.51 to 0.38mm, both root mean square errors and standard deviations were around 3mm, and all of the correlation coefficients between s

AbstractAccurately measuring and monitoring the thickness distribution of thin ice is crucial for accurate estimation of ocean–atmosphere heat fluxes and rates of ice production and salt flux in ice-affected oceans. Here we present results from helicopter-borne brightness temperature (TB) measurements in the Southern Ocean in October 2012 and in the Sea of Okhotsk in February 2009 carried out with a portable passive microwave (PMW) radiometer operating at a frequency of 36 GHz. The goal of these measurements is to aid evaluation of a satellite thin-ice thickness algorithm which uses data from

Latent heat flux (LHF) plays an important role in the global hydrological cycle and is therefore necessary to understand global climate variability.

It is based on the relationship between T B , Q a , sea surface temperature (SST), and water vapor scale height. Compared with in situ dat

Sea surface temperature (SST) fields obtained from the series of space-borne five-channel Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRRs) provide the longest continuous time series of global SST available to date (1981–present). As a result, these data have been used for many studies and significant effort has been devoted to their careful calibration in an effort to provide a climate quality data record. However, little attention has been given to the local precision of the SST retrievals obtained from these instruments, which we refer to as the pixel-to-pixel (p2p) variability, a characte

Abstract:

This paper investigates the mobile phone’s interference to the 183.31 GHz receivers of the MWHS (Microwave Humidity Sounder) in the FY-3 Meteorological Satellite by a set of related experiments, by which way finds the interfering path. And it analyses the influence of the mobile station’s interference to the orbiting Space-borne Microwave Radiometer in theory. The factors related to the jamming distance and their forces are analyzed. The way to prevent and resolve the interference is proposed and it has been proved by the experiment.

Abstract. Since the late 1970s, space-borne microwave radiometers have been providing measurements of radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface. From these measurements it is possible to derive vegetation optical depth (VOD), a model-based indicator related to the density, biomass, and water content of vegetation. Because of its high temporal resolution and long availability, VOD can be used to monitor short- to long-term changes in vegetation. However, studying long-term VOD dynamics is generally hampered by the relatively short time span covered by the individual microwave sensors. This can p

Abstract During 30 days in May and June 2003, the R/V Southern Surveyor was operating in the Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia. Measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) were made with an accurate single-channel infrared radiometer as well as with the ship’s thermosalinograph. These ship-based measurements have been used to assess the quality of the SST derived from nine satellite-borne instruments. The satellite dataset compiled during this period also allows the intercomparison of satellite-derived SST fields in areas not covered by the ship’s track. An assessment of the SST qualit

Abstract:

Land Surface Temperature (ST) represents the radiative temperature of the Earth’s surface and is used as input to hydrological, agricultural, and meteorological science applications. Due to the synoptic nature of satellite imaging systems, ST products derived from space-borne platforms are invaluable for estimating ST at the local, regional, and global scale. In the past two decades, an emphasis has been placed on the need to develop algorithms necessary to deliver accurate surface temperature products to support the needs of science users. However, corresponding efforts to validate these prod
