Abstract :
The numerical simulations of imaging technology for analysis of geostationary multispectral passive microwave observation is described. This paper compares the abilities of three candidate passive microwave sensors to image the upwelling atmospheric brightness temperature. Presented are scattering-based simulations of a land falling hurricane that illustrate the imaging capabilities of a filled-aperture antenna instrument refer to GEM, a Y-shaped aperture synthesis array instrument refer to GeoSTAR and a Ring-shaped aperture synthesis array instrument refer to GIMS.
