TL;DR: In this article, ground-based zenith-viewing observations of atmospheric thermal emission were made at frequencies of 20.6, 31.65, and 90.0 GHz.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the radiometric measurements of precipitable water vapor with values determined from two types of radiosondes, and showed that significant differences exist between the radiometer and the NWS moisture soundings when the relative humidity drops below 20 percent for pressures greater than 500 hPa.

TL;DR: The second phase of the Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment (PROBE) was conducted in Kavieng, Papua New Guinea from 6 January to 28 February 1993 as mentioned in this paper, where a dual-channel microwave radiometer provided continuous measurements within 30-s resolution of precipitable water vapor (PWV) and integrated cloud liquid, while the RASS measured virtual temperature profiles every 30 min.

TL;DR: In this paper, five variations of a statistical retrieval method are used to produce radiometric temperature profiles and compared with radiosonde data under both inversion and non-inversion conditions, the best algorithm yields consistently better results than the traditional radiometric technique, but still fails to correctly reproduce the radiosonde inversions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a year's worth of data were collected in 1988 at Denver and Platteville, Colorado and the locations are separated by 49 km single-station statistics were derived for the entire year.
