Radiometer Calibration Using Colocated GPS Radio Occultation Measurements

Radiometer Calibration Using Colocated GPS Radio Occultation Measurements

We present a new high-fidelity method of calibrating a cross-track scanning microwave radiometer using Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (GPSRO) measurements. The radiometer and GPSRO receiver periodically observe the same volume of atmosphere near the Earth's limb, and these ov...
