Abstract:

The report addresses itself to two main topics of research and analysis the effects of clouds and hydrometeors on temperature profiling, and the possibility of obtaining cloud information from microwave remote sensing. Other topic areas covered include Implementation of the Gross-Reber line-shape model for the oxygen absorption coefficients Extension of analysis of temperature inversion accuracies to the 118 GHz line Development of an approximate model for the analysis of the effects of precipitation and Analysis of the application of the 183 GHz line shape for atmospheric probing.
