Microwave Water Radiometer (MWR): water liq. & vapor along line of sight (LOS) path - mwrlos

The microwave radiometer (MWR) provides time-series measurements of column-integrated amounts of water vapor and liquid water. The instrument itself is a sensitive microwave receiver that detects the microwave emissions of the vapor and liquid water molecules in the atmosphere at two frequencies: 23.8 and 31.4 GHz. \n \nIntegrated water vapor and liquid water path are derived from radiance measurements with a statistical retrieval algorithm that uses monthly derived and location-dependent linear regression coefficients.微波辐射计（Microwave Radiometer, MWR）可提供柱积分水汽与液态水含量的时间序列观测数据。该仪器为高灵敏度微波接收机，可在23.8 GHz与31.4 GHz两个频率下，探测大气中水汽及液态水分子的微波辐射信号。 积分水汽路径与液态水路径可通过采用经月度拟合且与地理位置相关的线性回归系数的统计反演算法，从辐射亮度测量数据中反演得到。
