AMPR TEFLUN-A BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURE (TB)

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the Texas-Florida Underflights (TEFLUN-A); the first of three TRMM ground validation missions. AMPR data were collected at four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1 and 85.5 GHz) for the period of 15 April 1998 through 04 May 1998. The TEFLUN-A mission studied convection over sub-tropical land and ocean regions within the range of research-quality radar, lightning, radiosonde, and raingage sites in Florida and Texas.

高级微波降水辐射计（AMPR）在德克萨斯-佛罗里达低空飞行（TEFLUN-A）期间得以部署，该次飞行是三项TRMM地面验证任务中的首次。AMPR在1998年4月15日至1998年5月4日的期间内，于四个微波频率（10.7、19.35、37.1和85.5 GHz）上收集了数据。TEFLUN-A任务旨在研究佛罗里达和德克萨斯州研究级雷达、闪电、无线电探空仪和雨量计站点范围内的亚热带陆地和海洋区域的对流现象。
