Abstract
Strong absorptions due to atmospheric oxygen near 60 GHz provide the means for remote sensing of atmospheric temperature fluctuations that may indicate the presence of disturbances such as high-altitude clear-air turbulence, aircraft wake turbulence, and severe weather. In this paper we evaluate the performance of a radiometer operating at 60 GHz that is designed to detect these plumes of temperature different from ambient
