Definition
- 183.31GHz in the microwave frequency bands, water vapor in the atmosphere has the strongest absorption lines, implemetation chose 183.31GHz as the primary detection frequency, being in the vicinity of the three channel is set.These atmospheric water vapor different level of microwave radiation showed different responses, you can use atmosphere 300hPa 850hPa, 500 HPA and steamed different heights.At the same time, the 150GHz mechanism are still in the areas of atmospheric window bipolar detection channels, the background of the Earth's surface for detection of microwave radiation.Comprehensive application of the five channel mechanism for detecting inversion results you can get the vertical distribution of atmospheric humidity. source: China Meteorological Administration(CMA), National Satellite and Meteorological Center(NSMC) Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: MWHS Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: Earth Remote Sensing Instruments Instrument_Class: Passive Remote Sensing Instrument_Type: Profilers/Sounders Short_Name: MWHS Long_Name: MicroWave Humidity Sounder End_Group Group: Spectral_Frequency_Information Wavelength_Keyword: Microwave Spectral_Frequency_Coverage_Range: Microwave: 19.35 - 89.0 GHz (8 channels) End_Group Online_Resource: http://satellite.cma.gov.cn/ArssEn/StaticContent/DeviceIntro_FY3_MWHS.aspx Group: Instrument_Logistics Instrument_Start_Date: 2008-05-29 Instrument_Owner: China/NSMC End_Group End_Group (en)
