Abstract
Application of microwave remote sensing in prediction of atmospheric boundary layer The atmospheric temperature profiles are derived with 5 mm 545 GHz radiometer anglescanning observations Due to the fact that microwave radiometer could monitor the atmospheric temperature profile continuously and make the initialization of numerical model any time it is helpful for improving the accuracy in prediction of the evolution of atmospheric boundary layerTheory and application of microwave radiometers in monitoring atmospheric temperature humidity and water content in cloud The field experiment of International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project ISCCP at Shionomisaki and Amami Oshima of Japan for studies of cloud and weather has been describedSatellite remote sensing of atmosphere and cloud The TIROSN TOVS satellite data are used to obtain atmospheric temperature profile The results are compared with those of radiosonde with rms deviation smaller than that of the current operational TOVS processingMicrowave remote sensing and communication The atmospheric attenuations are derived with microwave remote sensing methods such as solar radiation method etc in order to obtain the local value instantaneously The characteristics of Beijings rainfall have been analysed and the probability of microwave attenuation of rain is predictedFor improvement of the accuracy of rainfall measurement a radiometerradar system λ=32 cm has been developed The variation of rainfall distribution and arearainfall may be obtained by its measurements which may be helpful for hydrological prediction
