Millimeter-wave radars have been used since the early 1950s to study clouds and precipitation, but until recently these early instruments were limited to simple backscatter power measurements and were plagued by hardware problems. However, development of solid-state millimeter-wave componentry and high-power klystron amplifiers has spurred the evolution of reliable, coherent radars operating up to 95 GHz. In addition, advances in digital signal processing technology have resulted in single-card processors that can simultaneously execute algorithms to compute reflectivity, Doppler, and polarimetric quantities in real time. A review of the current state of the art in millimeter-wave cloud radars is presented, including a discussion of transmitters, antennas, and receiver components. Two radar systems built by the University of Massachusetts are described, including a mobile, dual-frequency (33- and 95-GHz) polarimetric radar, and an airborne 95-GHz polarimetric radar that was recently flown in a cooperative experiment with the University of Wyoming. Spaceborne applications are also discussed, especially the use of satellite-based 95-GHz radars for measuring the vertical distribution of clouds 相似文献

A 95 GHz dual-polarization radar system was developed and flown on the University of Wyoming King Air research aircraft, from which it measured reflectivity, depolarization, and Doppler-derived velocity mean and standard deviation of a variety of clouds. This paper describes the radar and a data acquisition system that uses commercially available digitizers, signal processors, and signal generators. The authors also describe the tradeoffs between spatial resolution and ability to estimate reflectivity and velocity. This paper presents the first known airborne measurements of clouds made at 95 GHz; these are thought to be the most highly resolved millimeter-wave cloud images made to date. Depolarization, measured in terms of the linear depolarization ratio (LDR), was especially high in the melting band and in regions containing pristine ice crystals. These measurements demonstrate the advantages that high-spatial-resolution airborne millimeter-wave radars offer for the study of cloud microphysical properties 相似文献

An airborne C-band scatterometer system (C-Scat) has been developed to remotely sense ocean surface winds and improve upon the present understanding of the relationship between normalized radar cross section (NRCS) and ocean surface roughness influences such as wind speed and direction, wave height and slope, and the air-sea temperature difference. The scatterometer utilizes a unique frequency-steered microstrip array antenna that is installed beneath the fuselage of an airplane. The antenna is electronically scanned in elevation, from 20° to 50° off-nadir, and mechanically spins in azimuth. The system is capable of measuring ocean surface NRCS from altitudes as high as 25000 ft. The system is divided into four subsystems: the transmitter and receiver, the spinning antenna, the computer control and data acquisition subsystem, and the digital and analog interface electronics 相似文献

Polarimetric measurements contain errors owing to random thermal energy in the receiver and system phase noise. These errors can be reduced using estimation techniques that account for general properties of the Mueller matrix. In this paper, we show how Kalman (1960) filter techniques improve and speed up the estimation of a target's Mueller matrix when the noncoherent measurement technique is used. Measurements obtained with a 95-GHz polarimeter demonstrate that fewer independent samples of the backscattered fields are needed to obtain an accurate estimate if Kalman filtering is used than if a pseudo inversion process is used 相似文献

HLA-G is a class Ib (non-classical) major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein expressed at the maternal-fetal interface that inhibits natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis in an allotype-independent manner. Here we report that the spontaneous endocytosis of HLA-G is severely reduced because of its short cytoplasmic tail. Class I (classical) MHC proteins on the surface of B cell transfectants detected by primary and secondary antibodies underwent endocytosis at a moderate rate, whereas HLA-G, chimeric proteins consisting of the extracellular domains of HLA-C with the C-terminal sequence of HLA-G, or glycophosphatidylinositol-tailed HLA-C proteins, were not efficiently internalized. In addition, a mutant of beta 2-microglobulin (Ser88Cys) that could be specifically labeled with Texas red (or other fluorescent probes) and exchanged into class I or class Ib MHC proteins was employed to study spontaneous internalization of MHC proteins by a non-perturbative method independent of an antibody ligand. These data are discussed in terms of both the role of HLA-G expressed on the fetal trophoblast and the function of the cytoplasmic tail in class I MHC proteins. 相似文献
