Abstract
We describe the method of microwave sensing of the Earth’s surface using spectral features of the millimeter-wave atmospheric radiation. This method permits simultaneous remote measurements of albedo and thermodynamic temperature of the effectively emissive layer of terrestrial cover and artificial objects. A three-frequency radiometric polarimeter operated near the 2.5-mm oxygen line and developed for the realization of this measurement technique is described. The procedure and the results of studies of emission characteristics for some types of terrestrial cover, artificial coatings, and water surface are presented.
