Abstract :
A multiband microwave polarimetric scanning radiometer (PSR) was operating during January-March, 1997 over the Labrador Sea and the Atlantic Ocean aboard the NASA/WFF P-3B aircraft. Conically-scanned brightness temperatures were observed over open ocean for a variety of wind speeds and cloud conditions. Presented are several illustrations and applications of data obtained during the Labrador Sea experiment. Marine winds were measured
