AMPR BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURE (TB) KWAJEX V1

Description

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the First Kwajelein Experiment (KWAJEX), which provided Ground Validation for instruments onboard the Tropical Rain Measurement Mission (TRMM). AMPR brightness temperature data were collected at four microwave frequencies suited to study rain cloud systems (10.7, 19.35, 37.1 and 85.5 GHz) for the period of 30 July - 14 September 1999.
