  • Remote sensing atmospheric pressure profiles through combined radar and/or radiometer measurements
    Patent number: 11747514
    Abstract: An apparatus configured to scan radar and radiometer combination used to image 3D atmospheric pressure from high altitudes or space. The apparatus includes a microwave sensor configured to operate at a V-band between a range of 51 and 71 GHz, producing high fidelity retrievals of one or more pressure and temperature profiles. The sensor includes a broadband transmitter and one or more receivers with three or more transmitted and received radar frequencies. The three or more transmitted and received frequencies are used to provide an estimate of atmospheric oxygen absorption in atmosphere. The sensor is further configured to provide vertical pressure profiles by combining three radar frequency data from the three or more transmitted and received radar frequencies with vertical temperature information.
