Passive Microwave Sensing

Passive Microwave Sensing is a remote sensing technique that measures naturally emitted microwave radiation from the Earth's surface to infer geophysical properties, distinguished from active methods by its reliance on ambient thermal emissions rather than transmitted signals.
