Abstract

The results of processing new experimental data on brightness temperature of atmospheric downwelling radiation near the resonance absorption line of water vapor 22.235 GHz are presented. The experiment was carried out by means of special 47-channel microwave radiometer-spectrometer. In this article the observations of stable clear sky and also cumulus cloud cover of various vertical extent for summer 2018-2019 measurement periods are considered. Due to assess the dynamics of brightness temperature fluctuations, the apparatus of Kolmogorov’s structural functions is used. Spectra of square root of structural function for wide range of temporal interval values under clear sky and cumulus cloud cover conditions are obtained. The two-frequency method of integral atmospheric moisture content evaluation is discussed. Experimental dependencies of cloud liquid water content on square root of structural function are shown.
