Air temperature profile and air/sea temperature difference measurements by infrared and microwave scanning radiometers
[1] A system of two scanning radiometers has been developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Environmental Technology Laboratory and deployed on the NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown during the Nauru99 cruise in the tropical western Pacific in June and July 1999. The system is composed of a high-quality temperature sensor and two independent, vertically scanning radiometers, measur...
متن کاملScanning infrared radiometer for measuring the air-sea temperature difference.
We describe a vertically scanning infrared radiometer for measuring the air-sea temperature difference without disturbing the water skin layer. The radiometer operates with a single wavelength channel that is 1.1 mum wide, centered on 14.2 mum, on the short-wavelength edge of a CO(2) atmospheric absorption band. The resulting high atmospheric absorption enables calibration of the horizontal-vie...
متن کاملCombining Data from Ground-based Microwave Radiometers and Other Instruments in Temperature and Humidity Profile Retrievals
Ground-based microwave radiometry offers a new opportunity to automate upper air observations by providing information on temperature and humidity profiles as well as the integrated water vapour and liquid water amounts with high time resolution. To improve their relatively poor vertical resolution and provide a more complete picture of the vertical profile, radiometer observations can be combi...
متن کاملTemperature and humidity profile retrievals from ground-based microwave radiometers during TUC
Thermodynamic atmospheric profiles have been retrieved from ground-based microwave radiometers during the Temperature, hUmidity, and Cloud (TUC) profiling campaign. A variety of inversion methods is presented, in terms of requirements, advantages, and limitations. Results confirm the theoretical expectation that retrievals’ accuracy and resolution degrade steadily with height up to 3 km, then m...
متن کاملInfrared Thermopile Temperature Measurement Technique in Microwave Heating Systems
Temperature measurement in microwave systems is essential for thermally driven processes, namely, catalytic reactions and ceramic sintering. Although, the application of direct thermometry methods, namely, thermocouples, have been commonly articulated in the available literature, however, contacted temperature measurement mechanisms have aroused concerns associated with the disruption of the el...
