The ability to effectively monitor the atmosphere on a
continuous basis requires remote sensing in microwave. Written for
physicists and engineers working in the area of microwave sensing
of the atmosphere, Ground-Based Microwave Radiometry and Remote
Sensing: Methods and Applications is completely devoted to
ground-based remote sensing. This text covers the fundamentals of
microwave remote sensing, and examines microwave radiometric
measurements and their applications.
The book discusses the atmospheric influences on the
electromagnetic spectrum, addresses the measurement of incoherent
electromagnetic radiation from an object obeying the laws of
radiation fundamentals, and explores the height limits in both the
water vapor band and the oxygen band. The author describes the
measurement technique of water vapor in the polar region, details
studies of the measurement of integrated water vapor content by
deploying a microwave radiometer, and presents several real-time
pictures of radiometric and disdrometer measurements.
- Includes integrated water vapor and cloud liquid water
models
- Contains measurements in adverse weather conditions
- Illustrates measurement technique in the Antarctic and Arctic
regions
- Describes rain models in different locations including
tropical, temperate regions along with radiometric measurement
techniques
- Presents a definite model for measurement of propagation path
delay
The book summarizes the latest research results obtained in the
area of measurements and modeling, describes the atmospheric
influences on electromagnetic spectrum along with different gaseous
and cloud models, and provides examples of radiometric retrievals
from a variety of dynamic weather phenomena.
