Abstract

Abstract The Indian satellite Bhaskara-II carried a three-frequency passive microwave radiometer system, the Satellite Microwave Radiometer (SAMIR), operating at the 19·35, 22·235 and 31·4 GHz frequencies. Rao et al. (1987) have analysed a limited amount of SAMIR data, pertaining to five orbital passes, and have made comments on the reliability and nature of the data. The purpose of this Letter is to suggest some specific and well-tested procedures for checking the quality of the SAMIR data and their physical interpretation.
