Abstract
This abstract outlines the development and performance of an imaging passive microwave radiometer operating in the 10 to 85 GHz range specifically for precipitation retrieval and mesoscale storm system studies from the ER-2 high altitude research aircraft. The instrument is referred to as the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) and was developed under contract to Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The AMPR's primary goal is the exploitation of the scattering signal of precipitation at frequencies of 10.7, 19.3 5,37.0 and 85.5 GHz to unambiguously retrieve precipitation and storm structure intensity information in support of the spaceborne Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/l) during future airborne ER-2 data flights in 1989/1990.
