Abstract: Spaceborne microwave radiometers with high frequency channels (150-183 GHz) are important for retrieving many geophysical parameters such as snowfall, ice water path, and atmospheric water vapor profiles. In order to obtain accurate retrievals from the brightness temperature measurements, the radiometers must be properly calibrated. Several methods have been developed to analyze the on-orbit calibration, including comparisons with radiative transfer models, comparisons with radiosonde profile…
