Spaceborne passive microwave sounding instruments are important for monitoring tropical cyclones (TCs) over oceans. However, previous studies have found large retrieval errors at TCs’ inner region at the lower troposphere where heavy precipitat...
This paper describes the initial results of precipitation estimates from the Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) Millimeter-wave Sounder (TMS) using the Precipitation R...
A passive microwave instrument will be carried by China’s geostationary microwave satellite. A microwave hyper-spectral band included by the instrument ranges from 52.6 to 57.3 GHz, and totally has 89 channels in this spectral domain. The desig...
