Microwave radiometric technique to retrieve vapor, liquid and ice. II. Joint studies of radiometer and radar in winter clouds
A neural network-based retrieval technique is developed to infer vapor, liquid. and ice columns using twoand threechannel microwave radiometers. Neural network-based inverse scattering methods are capable of merging various data streams in order to retrieve microphysical properties of clouds and precipitation. The method is calibrated using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...
متن کاملPassive Microwave Remote Sensing of Tropical Cyclones
Passive microwave radiometers have a strong heritage of instruments: the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), the Tropical Rainfall Mapping Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing (AMSR-E) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMI/S). These instruments measure vertically and horizontally polarized brightness temperatures ...
متن کاملActive and Passive Microwave Sensing of Soil Moisture Throughcorn Fields of Varying Density
This paper explores the synergetics of passive and active microwave remote sensing to determine soil moisture under a corn canopy. An experiment has been performed at Alabama A&M Winfield A. Thomas Agricultural Research Station near Huntsville, Alabama in June, 1998. The fields were observed with a truck-mounted L-, Cand X-band polarimetric radar and a second truck-mounted Land S-band radiomete...
متن کاملPolarimetric Active/passive Microwave Scat- Tering/emission towards Soil Moisture Estima- Tion: First Results
In active (SAR) and passive (radiometer) microwave remote sensing polarimetry provides an innovative observation space for analyses of land surface scattering pointing towards a combined (active-passive) soil moisture estimation on agricultural ground. In order to investigate the potential of a polarimetric, active-passive approach for soil moisture estimation, a unique data set was acquired at...
متن کاملMicrowave radiometric technique to retrieve vapor, liquid and ice. I. Development of a neural network-based inversion method
With the advent of the microwave radiometer, passive remote sensing of clouds and precipitation has become an indispensable tool in a variety of meteorological and oceanographical applications. There is wide interest in the quantitative retrieval of water vapor, cloud liquid, and ice using brightness temperature observations in scientific studies such as earth’s radiation budget and microphysic...
