1.1.2 Water vapor profile and zenith attenuation statistics at 33 and 95 GHz
8
Maritime Continent Island Thunderstorm Experiment was held during the Australian summer
monsoon. Thunderstorms develop in an environment with low shear and high moisture. The
data obtained by the radiosonde were corroborated with radiometer data. Collecting the
radiosonde measurements every day during the experiment, gaseous attenuation, specific
humidity and cumulative attenuation profiles were calculated for the complete experiment.
The average profile is shown in Figure 2.2.
Figure 2.2 Mean specific humidity profile
Gaseous attenuation mean for 33 GHz is 0.11 dB/Km and 0.74 dB/Km for 95 GHz (see Fig.
2.3).

(--33 GHz and 95 GHz)
Equation (2.10) contains all the quantities needed to compute the response of a satellite-based
microwave radiometer to changes in atmospheric and surface variables.
The 33 GHz signal has more peak power than the 95 GHz signal (see Table 2.1) to compensate
for its smaller gain (wide bandwidth).

Thus, the 95 GHz signal has a comparable performance and has similar values of minimum
detectable signal to the 33 GHz signal, obtaining similar resolution and noise immunity for
both signals for a single pulse in zenith angle. This is shown in Figure 2.5. The other modes
parameters are shown in the Table 2.2

But when the radar scans and many pulses are sent, the radar performance does not behave in
the same way as when as sending a single pulse in zenith angle. So we need to analyze the
performance of scanning radar
11
1.2Scan Equations
The one-way path loss, A
g
, depends on the frequency being used. For frequencies where the
path loss degrades the signal strongly, higher power was used to minimize this effect.
After obtaining the atmospheric attenuation for every layer (see Fig. 2.1), we found the
cumulative gaseous attenuation. This one is calculated for a fixed angle and for every range
gate in which the radar operates. A matrix of radius times angles was used to save the
projected attenuation. Then the cumulative attenuation for specific angle and radius was
computed as:

Finally with the cumulative attenuation for every radius at a specific angle, the total path loss,
l, can be calculated. To implement all this procedure we used IDL program. IDL is a language
capable to process great amount of data, and a flow diagram in Figure 2.6 shows the algorithm
implemented in this work.

reflectivity values that can be detected by the radar, i.e. less signal can be detected in those
areas.

Figure 2.8 The plot on (a) depicts the radar reflectivity measured at 95GHz with CPRS
and plot on data at same time than CPRS data was collected at 95GHz.
The radar begins to detect the cloud from a radius of 13 km and from an angle between 8 and
76 degrees. To the W band, the cloud looks much smaller than the one shown by the Ka band.
These data validate the simulation and confirm the effect of the attenuation of the W band in
angles smaller than 50 degrees (see Fig. 2.11a). Figures 2.10 and 2.11 show three regions,
these are the dBZ
emin
that represent the CPRS data. We can see here that the radar received a
greater reflectivity than the minimum estimated reflectivity. We can see that this is also true for
the 95 GHz signal.
These results strongly suggest that VVW is the preferred choice for vapor absorption line
shape at 22 GHz. Note that the same finding was obtained by Hill [1986] when the ratio test
was applied to the original Becker and Autler [1946] laboratory data.

The other regions behave in the same way. All the reflectivity mean values are within the

1.3 Radar System Characteristic and MCTEX
Experiment Layout
1.3.1 Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX)
The MCTEX experiment was performed in the North Coast of Australia, and in the Bathurst
and Melville Islands. The principal objective of this experiment was to better understand the
physical processes, such as humidity balance over tropical islands on a maritime continent.
For this reason, the experiment was held between November 13th and December 10th, 1995;
season on which the transition phases occurs between the dry and wet seasons. The data of this
experiment were collected with different sensors. One set was collected by means of the Cloud
Profiling Radar System (CPRS). This one collected data on the Ka frequency band (33.12
GHz) and W frequency band (94.92 GHz). Data from the W frequency band, 95 GHz, also
was collected by the Airborne Cloud Radar. The NOAA radar collected data on the S
frequency band, at 2.8 GHz.
1.3.2 Radar Hardware of Cloud Profiling Radar System (CPRS)
The CPRS is a dual-frequency polarimetric Doppler radar system that works with two sub-
systems at 33 and 95 GHz. This was fully developed by the University of Massachusetts
Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MIRSL).
17
Table 2.1 shows the CPRS parameter. The CPRS has a programmable structure that allows
working in different modes of scanning. It has a high-speed VXI-bus-based data acquisition
and digital signal processing (DSP) system. A radome protects the system from atmospheric
effects. Both the 33 and 95 GHz sub-systems simultaneously transmit and receive by means of
a single aperture and not producing pointing errors between both frequencies. Table 2.1 shows
other typical characteristics of the CPRS operation. The CPRS works in three different
operational modes, changing the pulse width and by consequence the pulse repetition
frequency and the bandwidth change. These values are shown in 2. 2. The CPRS measures
can obtain the reflectivity (Z
e
), mean fall velocity (u) linear depolarization ratio (LDR),
velocity spectral width (
v
), and the full Doppler spectrum (S(v)) [Firda, 1997; Lohmeire, et al.
1997].

2 Microwave Atmospheric Absorption
Model
An improved model for the absorption of the atmosphere near the 22 GHz water vapor line is
presented. The Van-Vleck-Weisskopf line shape is used with a simple parameterized version
of the model from Liebe for the water vapor absorption spectra and a scaling of the model from
Rosenkranz for the 20-32 GHz oxygen absorption. Radiometric brightness temperature
measurements from two sites of contrasting climatological properties San Diego, CA and
West Palm Beach, FL were used as ground truth for comparison with in situ radiosonde
derived brightness temperatures. The retrieval of the new models four parameters, related to
water vapor line strength, line width and continuum absorption, and far-wing oxygen
absorption, was performed using the Newton-Raphson inversion method.
2.1Atmospheric Absorption
Various shapes of the bullet rosettes are observed (see Fig. 3.1). The angles among the bullets
within the rosette are random between 70 and 90. Each bullet has a longitude relation

Although DDA can describe any geometry, it is limited by a minimum distance d that should
exist between dipoles. This distance should be inversely proportional to any structural
longitude on the target and to the wavelength. Previous studies [Draine and Flatau, 1994] sum
up the two criteria in equation 3.6.

In this way the equations were determined for the bulk density, , of the bullet, considering the
solid ice density as 0.9 g cm

and using the volume of ice in individual crystals [Heymsfield,
1972]
As the Wieners theorem states [Oguchi, 1983], the complex index of refraction, m, depends of
the bulk density when dealing with dry ice particles:

The O2 resonant lines are very close to each other and troposphere pressures are high enough
( > 100 mbars) to cause the lines to broaden and overlap. This is called collisional broadening
and is taken into account through the interference parameter.
2.2 New Model Retrieved Parameters
The final retrieved parameters, CL, CW, CC and CX, are shown in Table 2.1. As the table
indicates, the nominal parameters used in the L87R93 model are 3 to 7 percent lower. Figures
2.7a-c depict plots of the brightness temperature for three climatological conditions. Each
graph has a plot corresponding to the L87R93 and new models. Also shown are the radiometer
measured brightnesses. The new estimated parameters show better agreement with the WVR
data. L87R93 model as the reference (therefore, by definition the L87R93 model is . In these

exist between dipoles. This distance should be inversely proportional to any structural

2.2.1 Bullet and Bullet Rosettes Toolbox for DDSCAT Program
We developed two toolboxes for DDSCAT where we implemented the most common shapes
of the cirrus ice crystals, i.e. the bullet and bullet rosettes. Using a single DDSCAT
environment by means of the ddscat.par file [Draine and Flatau, 2000], we specified which
one of the geometries we wanted to use and parameters such as size, dielectric constant of the
material, and in general all the parameters related to the target to be analyzed.

2.3Backscattering with DDSCAT
Once the bullet toolbox was created in DDSCAT, we proceeded to use it to simulate the
crystals backscattering at 33 and 95 GHz. Figure 3.4 shows the backscattering for one bullet
crystal of different sizes using several models for index of refraction and crystal density. The
figure shows the sensitivity of the backscattering to the index of refraction, showing the
23
necessity of considering the index of refraction for each size and density of the ice crystal, and
not assuming a constant density for all the bullets sizes.

Figure 3.13 Backscattering (10 logb) of different indexes of refraction, (a) Backscattering in dB to
33GHz with 652 dipoles array, (b) Backscattering in dB to 95GHz .
It can also be seen that the backscattering obtained when varying the index of refraction
according to the particle size is not significantly different to the results obtained when using
constant indexes of refraction for different particle sizes.
Given that one of the objectives is to analyze the DWR, we designed an interface between
DDSCAT and IDL program. We developed a routine that iteratively collects data from IDL
such as the index of refraction, m, which is computed according to the particles size and the
index of refraction of the solid ice, n
i
, and saving m in DDSCAT to compute the backscattering
and again this value is saved in IDL to obtain the DWR. The DWR is defined as [Sekelsky, et
al. 1999]

3 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK
Recent work to determine the sea water dielectric coefficient was based on laboratory
measurements of sea water samples from different parts of the ocean. Although these
measurements should render good understanding of the emission from a calm ocean surface,
their accuracy in providing values of the ocean still needed to be examined. Our present
investigation of the specular sea emission seen from space provides field verification of the sea
water specular emissivity over broader regions of the oceans. In this work, we investigate and
adjust two ocean dielectric models using well calibrated radiometer data from the
TOPEX/Poseidon satellite mission, paying particular attention to reducing the overall bias of
the estimated brightness. In addition, we evaluate the performance of several models for their
dependence on salinity and sea temperature.
The modified models exhibit significant improvements in the estimate of TB. Of the two
modified models, ModE exhibits superior overall performance. It has the lowest bias at both
frequencies (0.16 and 0.14K, respectively), which is indicative of the accuracy of the model.
Its frequency dependence was decreased from -2.3 to 0.30K. In addition, ModE has the lowest
dependence on sea surface temperature and the lowest RMS difference of 2.58K and 3.52K for
18GHz and 37GHz, respectively. For these reasons, we recommend this model for future
remote sensing applications involving microwave emissions from the ocean.
