TC4 AMPR BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURE (TB) V1

The TC4 AMPR Brightness Temperature (TB) dataset consists of brightness temperature data from July 19, 2007 through August 8, 2007. The Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4) mission field experiment was completed during July and August 2007 was based out of San Jose, Costa Rica. The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) instrument played a key role in the experiment. The AMPR remotely senses passive microwave signatures of geophysical parameters from an airborne platform. The instrument is a low noise system which can provide multi-frequency microwave imagery with high spatial and temporal resolution. AMPR data were collected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) unique to current NASA aircraft instrumentation. These frequencies are well suited to the study of rain cloud systems, but are also useful to studies of various ocean and land surface processes.

TC4 AMPR亮度温度（TB）数据集收录了自2007年7月19日至2007年8月8日之间的亮度温度数据。该数据集源自热带组成、云和气候耦合（TC4）任务于2007年7月至8月期间在哥斯达黎加圣何塞进行的野外实验。在此次实验中，高级微波降水辐射计（AMPR）仪器扮演了核心角色。AMPR通过机载平台远程感知地球物理参数的被动微波特征。该仪器具备低噪声特性，能够提供具有高空间和时间分辨率的多种频率微波图像。AMPR数据是在一系列独特的频率（10.7、19.35、37.1和85.5 GHz）下收集的，这些频率属于当前NASA机载仪器的范畴。这些频率对于研究雨云系统极为适宜，同时亦适用于海洋和陆地表面过程的研究。
