Biases caused by the instrument bandwidth and beam width on simulated brightness temperature measurements from scanning microwave radiometers
More so than the traditional fixed radiometers, the scanning radiometer requires a careful design to ensure high quality measurements. Here the impact of the radiometer characteristics (e.g., antenna beam width and receiver bandwidth) and atmospheric propagation (e.g. curvature of the Earth and vert...
