Description
Summary:In this paper the results of multi-frequency (at 5.6GHz, 15GHz and 37GHZ) and polarization measurements of clear and cloudy sky apparent temperatures are presented, measured under various observation angles. The results have been obtained during the measurements carried out in Armenia from the measuring complex built under the framework of ISTC Projects A-872 and A-1524. The measurements were carried out at cross (vertical and horizontal) polarizations, under various angles of sensing by radiometers of ArtAr-5.6, ArtAr-15, and ArtAr-37 C-, Ku-, and Ka-band combined scatterometric-radiometric systems, developed and built under the frameworks of the above mentioned Projects by ECOSERV Remote Observation Centre Co. Ltd., in collaboration with the Institute of Radiophysics & Electronics of Armenian National Academy of Sciences.
