Middle-atmospheric zonal and meridional wind profiles from polar, tropical and midlatitudes with the ground-based microwave Doppler wind radiometer WIRA
WIRA is a ground-based microwave Doppler spectroradiometer specifically designed for the measurement of profiles of horizontal wind in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere region where no other continuously running measurement technique exists. A proof of principle has been delivered in a previous publication. A technical upgrade including a new high-frequency amplifier and sideband filt...

متن کاملResults from the validation campaign of the ozone radiometer GROMOS-C at the NDACC station of Réunion island
Ozone performs a key role in the middle atmosphere and its monitoring is thus necessary. At the Institute of Applied Physics of the University of Bern, Switzerland, we built a new ground-based microwave radiometer, GROMOS-C (GRound based Ozone MOnitoring System for Campaigns). It has a compact design and can be operated remotely with very little maintenance requirements, being therefore suitabl...
متن کاملCombining UHF radar wind profiler and microwave radiometer for the estimation of atmospheric humidity profiles
Capabilities of an integrated ground-based system for the operational measurement of humidity profiles, using both an UHF wind profiler and a radiometer, are discussed. The combination takes advantage of the complementary characteristics of each instrument. The radiometer is able to give a fair evaluation of smoothed humidity and temperature profiles, while the wind profiler is more suited for ...
متن کاملStatistical Characterization of Zonal and Meridional Ocean Wind Stress
Four years of ocean vector wind data are used to evaluate statistics of wind stress over the ocean. Raw swath wind stresses derived from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are compared with five different global gridded wind products, including products based on scatterometer observations, meteorological analysis winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and reanalysis ...
