MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING OF ATMOSPHERIC PROPERTY AND WEATHER PROCESS

In this paper, the principle and test of remote sensing of atmospheric property and weatherprocess with 5mm (52.9Ghz, 54.5GHz), 1.35cm (22.235GHz) and 8mm (35,3 GHz) radio-meters are described. The assessment of the ability of remote sensing of atmospheric tem-perature, humidity, liquid water content of clond in all weather (except rain) has been discussed.The efficiency of remote sensing of the atmospheric sounding has been proved by the fieldexperiment. The field experiment results show that it could meet the need of atmosphericsounding in clear and cloudy weather. To monitor the weather, such as the change of airmass, the process of precipitation and the disturbance of microscale and mesoscale weather, thesignal reveals itself significantly in the atmospheric microwave radiation. The effect couldbe used in the nowcasting and artificial precipitation area.
