Ground-based millimeter- and submillimeter-wave observations of low vapor and liquid water contents.” Submitted to

Water vapor and cloud liquid measurements during cold and dry conditions are difficult because of the lack of sensitivity of conventional instruments to low amounts (Racette et al. 2005). On the other hand, millimeter (mm)- and submillimeter (submm)-wavelength radiometry may offer a powerful tool to...

Description
Summary:Water vapor and cloud liquid measurements during cold and dry conditions are difficult because of the lack of sensitivity of conventional instruments to low amounts (Racette et al. 2005). On the other hand, millimeter (mm)- and submillimeter (submm)-wavelength radiometry may offer a powerful tool to increase the sensitivity during Arctic conditions. In response to this need, the Microwave System
