Ultra Stable Microwave Radiometers for Future Sea Surface Salinity Missions

Abstract

measurements with an accuracy of 0.1 psu. This will require the L-band radiometers to have calibration stabilities of £ 0.05 K over 2 days. This research will determine the optimum radiome-ter requirements and configuration to achieve £ 0.05 K calibra-tion stability. This will be followed by building and testing breadboard radiometers to demonstrate the optimum radiome-ter. I.
