Campaign : Long-Term Microwave Radiometer Intercomparison

2001.04.01 - 2001.09.30

Lead Scientist : Richard Cederwall

For data sets, see below.

Summary

Make the spare MWR operational. Ingest data from the spare MWR. Input the output data of the spare MWR and ingest to VAP. Provide data to IOP participants.

Description

Scientific hypothesis: Microwave radiometer (MWR) observations of brightness temperature at 23.8 and 31.4 GHz will remain stable over long periods of time. Colocated instruments will provide identical retrievals of precipitable water vapor and longwave radiation data.

Approach to test hypothesis: Operate two colocated MWR at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility for several months spanning the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
