Web Portal for a Databank of Microwave Radiometric Measurements of the Atmosphere in Resonant Band of Water Vapor 18-27 GHz

A web portal that provides a wide range of tools for convenient interaction with microwave radiometric measurements data of atmospheric descending radiation in the band of resonant water vapor absorption (22.235 ± 4 GHz) has been developed. The measurements were carried out via special 47-channel spectral radiometer from a ground-based observation point located in Fryazino, Moscow Region. The portal represents a server application that allows to obtain RAW data of the measurements, perform primary digital data processing (including external calibration using specified parameters), obtain processed data in CSV files and compute necessary data metrics, for instance spatial-temporal structural function values. Algorithms for determination of total water vapor mass and integral liquid water content in clouds are implemented.
