Peering Through Clouds: Microwave Radiometry’s Crucial Role in Weather Prediction

Microwave radiometry is a passive remote sensing technique that measures naturally emitted thermal radiation in the microwave portion (0.3–300 GHz) of the electromagnetic spectrum. In essence, a microwave radiometer detects weak microwave energy from Earth’s surface and atmosphere and expresses it as a brightness temperature, the equivalent blackbody temperature of the emitting source. Unlike optical…
