Studies of Microwave Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Parameters

Abstract

The report addresses itself to two main topics of research and analysis: the effects of clouds and hydrometeors on temperature profiling, and the possibility of obtaining cloud information from microwave remote sensing. Other topic areas covered include: Implementation of the Gross-Reber line-shape model for the oxygen absorption coefficients; Extension of analysis of temperature inversion accuracies to the 118 GHz line; Development of an approximate model for the analysis of the effects of precipitation; and Analysis of the application of the 183 GHz line shape for atmospheric probing.
