Abstract

A review of millimeter wave radiometric measurement programs performed for various external sponsoring agencies is the subject of this paper. Over the past ten years radiometric data has been gathered in the following areas: atmospheric water vapor, high altitude severe storm activity including hurricanes and tornadoes, Arctic ice and marginal ice zone signatures, detailed passive target signature data such as armored vehicles, and the detection of ice accumulation on the Space Shuttle external tank. The frequency region covered by the various measurement programs was from 35 GHz to 220 GHz.
