Abstract:

The Advanced Microwave Radiometer – Climate Quality (AMR-C) is designed to measure the path delay due to atmospheric water vapor along Sentinel-6 altimeter path over one decade. The AMR-C receiver is based on heritage from previous AMR instruments with the addition of a THz-frequency radiometer, the High Resolution Microwave Radiometer (HRMR), for improved coastal zone accuracy and a Supplemental Calibration System (SCS) to meet level 3 requirements that the path delay error due to the altimeter-derived sea surface height be less at 0.8 cm and the path delay stability be maintained to 0.7 mm averaged over a 1-year time period.
