Measurements of Precipitable Water Vapor by GPS, Radiosondes, and a Microwave Water Vapor Radiometer
Results from the Westford WAter Vapor Experiment (WWAVE) will be discussed. This experiment was designed to measure the temporal and spatial variability of the total precipitable water vapor (PWV) over an area of roughly 25 km radius around the Haystack Observatory in Westford, MA. The main experiment was conducted from August 15 to August 30, 1995, and a variety of techniques were used to meas...
متن کاملAnalysis of Integrated Cloud Liquid and Precipitable Water Vapor Retrievals from the ARM Microwave Radiometer During SHEBA
Dual frequency, ground-based, Microwave Radiometers (MWRs) have been used for more than 20 years to derive columnar amounts of both water vapor (WV) and cloud liquid and a large number of studies have been made comparing retrievals of precipitable water vapor by MWRs vs. radiosondes and vs. Raman Lidar. Comparisons of MWR cloud liquid retrievals are much more limited, primarily because cloud li...
متن کاملSimulating Passive Microwave Radiometer Designs Using Simulink
The authors have developed a simulation system for a passive microwave radiometer using MATLAB and SIMULINK from The MathWorks, Inc. The system comprises a high-level block diagram simulation for a modern instrument, the Scanning Low Frequency Microwave Radiometer, or SLFMR. The hardware prototype SLFMR, which was designed to map sea surface salinity, was implemented using the classic pulsed no...
متن کاملA Combined Optical-Microwave Method to Retrieve Soil Moisture Over Vegetated Areas
1 Abstract— A simple approach for correcting the effect of vegetation in the estimation of the surface soil moisture (w S) from L-band passive microwave observations is presented in this study. The approach is based on semi-empirical relationships between soil moisture and the polarized reflectance including the effect of the vegetation optical depth which is parameterized here as a function ...
متن کاملScanning multichannel microwave radiometer snow water equivalent assimilation
[1] Accurate prediction of snowpack status is important for a range of environmental applications, yet model estimates are typically poor and in situ measurement coverage is inadequate. Moreover, remote sensing estimates are spatially and temporally limited due to complicating effects, including distance to open water, presence of wet snow, and presence of thick snow. However, through assimilat...
