Variable sorting criteria
Each instrument is assigned with a 5-step rating, evaluated as a blend of several elements. For this particular Variable, the rating is driven by:
the exploited measurement technique (radar, MW radiometry, lidar)
the exploited frequency bands in MW.
RATING CRITERIA:
1
Cloud or precipitation radar
2
Backscatter lidar
3
MW radiometer with many sounding channels in the 54 GHz band
MW radiometer with few sounding channels in the 54 and 183 GHz bands
4
MW radiometer with few sounding channels in the 54 GHz band
5
Lidar altimeters
