Microwave Radiometer Measurements of Sky Brightness Temperature
This dataset contains measurements of downwelling brightness temperature at 16 frequencies between 22.2 and 150 GHz at approximately 5 s temporal resolution. The observations were made by two radiometers (from Radiometer Physics GmbH) that are time-synced. This dataset contains only sky brightness t...
