Rotational Transformation Methods for Radio Occultation and Passive Microwave Radiometry Colocation Analysis
… System Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO) and passive microwave radiometry (MWR) provide useful atmospheric profiles for inputs into Numerical Weather Prediction models. However, both remote sensing techniques face unique challenges that require auxiliary atmospheric data to mitigate. GNSS-RO provides …

Potential for tsunami detection and early-warning using space-based passive microwave radiometry
… is proposed using a new space-based passive microwave radiometer system. Passive microwave radiometry can detect oceanic parameters such as sea-surface temperature and sea surface roughness to contribute to earlier tsunami detection, when the tsunami is farther from shore, which will increase …

Developing a Multi-Band GNSS Remote Sensing Station To Measure Precipitable Water Vapor for Flash Flood Nowcasting
… sensing methods, such as Doppler radar and microwave radiometry, suffer from reduced resolution at long range and signal blockage by mountains. GNSS-meteorology offers an established alternative for measuring precipitable water vapor and is currently integrated into several numerical weather …

Review of current radiometer technology with suggestions for future South African satellites
… the forms of electro-magnetic remote sensing is microwave radiometry. This dissertation presents a short review of currently available space-faring radiometer technologies and applications, which are then discussed in the context of today's South Africa. For instance Passive Microwave Radiometers …

Three-dimensional water vapor retrieval using a network of scanning compact microwave radiometers
… and a relatively small number of space-borne microwave and infrared radiometers. In-situ radiosonde measurements have excellent vertical resolution but are severely limited in temporal and spatial coverage. In addition, each radiosonde takes 45-60 minutes to rise from ground level to the …

Microwave Radiometer (MWR) Evaluation of Multi-Beam Satellite Antenna Boresight Pointing Using Land-Water Crossings, for the Aquarius/SAC-D Mission
This research concerns the CONAE Microwave Radiometer (MWR), on board the Aquarius/SAC-D platform. MWR's main purpose is to provide measurements that are simultaneous and spatially collocated with those of NASA's Aquarius radiometer/scatterometer. For this reason, knowledge of the MWR antenna beam …
