Beschreibung:
Solids, liquids, and gases emit at microwave wavelengths measurable amounts of black-body thermal radiation. Receiver sensitivities readily approach 0.01 K, and permit accurate measurements of land, sea, and atmospheric temperatures. Sea and land temperature measurements must be corrected for the effects of surface emissivity, but these effects can often be measured or estimated. Observations near the 5 mm wavelength 02 resonances can yield atmospheric temperature profiles with an approximate accuracy of 2 K for altitudes 0-80 km. Such measurements from balloons and aircraft suggest that the planned earth-orbital satellite experiments will yield data valuable for numerical weather prediction. Ground-based radio telescopes and planetary-probes have yielded similar information about the surfaces and atmospheres of other planets.
