To help understanding the radiative transfer in the atmosphere at these high millimeter wave frequencies, the UK Meteorological Office and the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (France) have jointly developed a microwave receiver at 89 and 157 GHz, frequencies corresponding to the AMSU-B window channels. The sounder has been flown in two international experiments in 1990. In this paper, we will focus on the gaseous absorption problem. |
