Abstract

The features of multi-band microwave radiometric studies of the atmosphere are considered. The description of meteorological conditions in the study area is given. Methodological provisions of the spatial correlation analysis of microwave radiometric measurements and meteorological parameters of the atmospheric surface layer are determined. The results of the correlation analysis are presented, the conclusions on the influence of atmospheric inhomogeneity on the data of multi-frequency microwave radiometric measurements are formulated. The potential of the operational detection and estimation of the parameters of local inhomogeneity of the atmosphere during the formation of severe weather events is analyzed.
