This book was released on 2000-02 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the 6 Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment held in Florence, Italy on March 15-18, 1999. Over the last two decades, passive microwave remote sensing has made considerable progress, and has achieved significant results in the study of the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Many years of observations with ground-based and satellite-borne sensors have made an important contribution to improving our knowledge of many geophysical processes of the Earth's environment and of global changes. The evolution in microwave radiometers aboard satellites has increased steadily over recent years. At the same time, many investigations have been carried out both to improve the algorithms for the retrieval of geophysical parameters and to develop new technologies. The book is divided into four main sections: three of these are devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and the fourth, to future missions and new technologies. The first section deals with the study of sea and land surfaces, and reports recent advances in remote sensing of ocean wind, sea ice, soil moisture and vegetation biomass, including electromagnetic modelling and the assimilation of radiometric data in models of land surface processes. The following two sections are devoted to the measurement of atmospheric quantities which are of fundamental importance in climatology and meteorology, and, since they influence radio-wave propagation, they also impact on several other fields, including geodesy, navigational satellite and radioastronomy. The last section presents an overview of new technologies and plans for future missions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a collection of refereed papers which were presented at the Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment, 14--17 February 1994, Rome, Italy. The last decade has marked a period of steady advancement and new developments in the observation of the terrestrial environment by passive microwave sensors. Both ground-based and satellite-borne systems have improved their accuracy, stability and spatial resolution and are providing a wealth of quantitative data, which are increasingly being employed in application-oriented projects. The contributions in this volume cover different fields of applications of microwave radiometry, the various observation and retrieval techniques and the recent technological developments. The articles are divided into four sections: measurement of atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid, measurement of rain, observation of the surface, and new radiometric systems.

This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-spatial-resolution microwave radiometer sensing from space with reasonable swath widths and revisit times favors large aperture systems. However, with traditional precision antenna design, the size and weight requirements for such systems are in conflict with the need to emphasize small launch vehicles. This paper describes tradeoffs between the science requirements, basic operational parameters, and expected sensor performance for selected satellite radiometer concepts utilizing novel lightweight compactly packaged real apertures. Antenna, feed, and radiometer subsystem design and calibration are presented. Preliminary results show that novel lightweight real aperture coupled with state-of-the-art radiometer designs are compatible with small launch systems, and hold promise for high-resolution earth science measurements of sea ice, precipitation, soil moisture, sea surface temperature, and ocean wind speeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book begins by describing the construction of microwave radiometers at frequencies between 4 and 22 GHz using low cost components acquired from the Internet. The design is based on the lock-in amplifier approach developed by Dr. Robert Dicke in the 1940's. An historic picture of Dicke taking sky measurements using one of his radiometers is shown in the top-left (Figure 41 on page 64). Although microwave technology has advanced considerably, Dicke's basic design hasn't changed much. The radiometers described in this book were used to observe some well known atmospheric and surface features using far field measurements. Also discussed are less understood and more challenging issues pertaining to radiometer calibration and surface emissivity determination using near field measurements. The book ends with three chapters on satellite microwave radiometers. These chapters describe the history and measurements which played a large part in establishing the role of microwave radiometry in earth remote sensing. Examples also reveal unresolved observations that need to be better analyzed and understood after years of launching new satellite instruments. In addition to describing the radiometers and measurements, analytical models are developed to help bridge the gap between observations and their physical interpretation. As such, this book should be of interest to those studying microwave radiometry and its use in remote sensing of the earth's atmosphere and surface. Dr. Norman Grody began his study of microwave radiometry when working at NASA in 1971 at the time when they first began launching experimental instruments on satellites to view earth from space. He then joined NOAA in 1972 working on more advanced radiometers developed by the Air Force, Navy, NASA and NOAA. Until his retirement from NOAA in 2005 he was responsible for evaluating the performance of satellite microwave radiometers and developing algorithms to derive surface and atmospheric parameters from the measurements. These parameters such as temperature, water vapor, rain rate, snow cover, sea ice and sea surface winds are used by various organizations to monitor, analyze and forecast the global weather and climate. The top-right picture (Figure 68 on page 98) shows an example of global.

This book was released on 1993-03-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rapidly growing area, remote sensing is crucial to the effort of modeling the earth's atmosphere and collecting such fundamental data as temperature, winds, pressures, water vapor distribution, clouds and other active constituents. This information enables us to test existing models of the atmosphere's energy balance, depletion of the ozone layer, climatic trends and other essential environmental data. Also discussed is the application of microwave remote sensing techniques to the atmospheres of planets other than the earth.
