| Description | One of the important objectives of the NIMBUS-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) is to demonstrate the feasibility of all weather measurements of various ocean parameters; such as sea surface temperature (SST) and near surface wind speed (WS). These ocean parameters can be determined from multispectral measurements of ocean brightness temperatures in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. These microwave measurements, however, are distorted if the field of view of the SMMR antenna encounters radio transmissions from terrestrial sources. Sources of terrestrial Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the SMMR ocean data were identified. Its extent and characteristics over different ocean areas on the Earth were determined. |
