Operating with 25 spectral channels in the 50-190 HGz region, it provides measurements that can be used to infer the 3-D distribution of temperature, water vapor, and liquid water in the atmosphere, even in the presence of clouds. HAMSR was mounted in a wing pod of a NASA ER-2 research aircraft. [Source: NASA] Online Resources http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/bitstream/2014/8623/1/02-1193.pdf |
