IEEE OES-GRSS NL chapter Invited Talk 2

The IEEE OES Oceanography and Meteorology Technology Committee welcomes you to this invited talk! Speaker: Dr. Domenico Cimini (National Research Council of Italy, Institute of Methodologies for the Environmental Monitoring) Title: Microwave Radiometry: From Uncertainty to Networking Abstract: Nowadays, ground-based microwave radiometers (MWR) are robust instruments providing continuous unattended operations and real-time atmospheric observations under nearly all-weather conditions. Ground-based MWR observations have the potential to help fill the observational gap in the atmospheric boundary layer, which is crucial for several applications including Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), renewable energy yield, and air quality monitoring. In addition, long-term MWR observations are useful to complement radiosonde observations for reference-quality climate monitoring of upper-air. This lecture will review analyses and tools developed in the last decade to foster the use of ground- based MWR networks for various applications, including MWR instrument calibration, absorption model uncertainty characterization, radiative transfer codes, and initiatives for implementing MWR operational networks.
