Concept information

Preferred term

NEMS  

Definition

  • The Nimbus E Microwave Spectrometer (NEMS) was designed primarily to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of microwave sensors for measuring tropospheric temperature profiles, water vapor abundances, cloud liquid water content, and earth surface temperatures. The NEMS could continuously monitor emitted microwave radiation at frequencies of 22.235, 31.4, 53.65, 54.9 and 58.8 GHz. The three channels near the 5-mm oxygen absorption band were used primarily to determine the atmospheric temperature profiles. (en)
