The WindSat polarimetric microwave radiometer measures top-of-atmosphere brightness temperature, useful for retrieving surface wind vector over the ocean. This procedure was previously documented in low to moderate wind and light precipitation. An atmospheric clearing algorithm designed to remove the emissive and absorptive effects of stronger precipitation and extract the emissivity of the wind-driven...
The vicarious cold calibration statistic has been analyzed to determine its stability. Modeled top of atmosphere brightness temperatures representing microwave radiometer observations are computed for the month of July 2005 using a radiative transfer model. The vicarious cold calibration algorithm is applied to the population of brightness temperatures along with two other statistics for comparison...
Analysis of detectability of the kurtosis algorithm for pulsed-sinusoidal radio frequency interference (RFI) has already been performed in detail. The detectability for wide-band spread-spectrum RFI is investigated here. A commercial RF communications product XBee is used for generating the spread-spectrum signal which is fed to the Agile Digital Detector (ADD) through a bench-top radiometer. ADD...
