Abstract
This chapter presents first results of Interferometric Radar Meteorology (IRM), showing how radar interferometric delay measurements can be used to infer high resolution maps of integrated atmospheric water vapor. Maps of the water vapor distribution can be readily related to meteorological phenomena, and suggest that radar observations can be used to study atmospheric dynamics and may contribute to forecasting. The theory and sensitivity analysis of the various atmospheric refractivity contributions is discussed. IRM results are validated using conventional meteorological techniques and GPS observations.
