The accuracy of water vapor and cloud liquid determination by dual-frequency ground-based microwave radiometry
作者： Ed R. Westwater
关键词:
摘要: A dual frequency ground-based radiometer operating in the 1 to 1.4 cm wavelength range can provide continuous measurements of integrated water vapor and cloud liquid water. Using climatological data, accuracy determinations is estimated as a function amount. Limiting factors determination are uncertainties absorption coefficients and, during cloudy conditions, temperature. For content greater than 10 mm, better 15% for wide conditions.
