Abstract :
Techniques of microwave remote sensing of the atmosphere with the emphasis to the aviation applications arc considered. Some results recently obtained are presented including joint research projects of NAU and IRCTR. Specificity of antennas is discussed. The paper mainly reflects the works, which were done with author participation, and does not aspire to saturation coverage.
