Abstract

The Ultra-Wideband Software Defined Microwave Radiometer (UWBRAD) measures scene brightness temperatures from 0.5-2 GHz. UWBRAD was deployed in a September 2017 airborne campaign in Greenland, and observed brightness temperatures of the ice sheet as well as sea ice, the ocean surface, and land regions during the transit to and from Calgary, Canada (the aircraft base of operations). This presentation will review the campaign and datasets collected. Spectral features of thermal emissions from the ice sheet and other geophysical regions are also examined to obtain insight into the utility of 0.5-2 GHz thermal emission measurements for remote sensing applications.
