In this paper the methodology to retrieve the vertical profilesof water vapor starting from microwave measurements isdiscussed. The novel technique, is based on a microwaveradio link and the measure of differential attenuation of twosignals transmitted at closely spaced frequencies in the Ku-Kband. The capability to gain insight about the water vapourdistribution in atmosphere and the potential strong impact onthe weather prediction chains is also discussed.

Abstract

In this paper the methodology to retrieve the vertical profilesof water vapor starting from microwave measurements isdiscussed. The novel technique, is based on a microwaveradio link and the measure of differential attenuation of twosignals transmitted at closely spaced frequencies in the Ku-Kband. The capability to gain insight about the water vapourdistribution in atmosphere and the potential strong impact onthe weather prediction chains is also discussed.
