EnglishThe authors propose an inversion scheme devoted to the retrieval of the atmospheric specific absorption coefficient based on data collected by a ground-based microwave radiometer. The technique processes elevation scans. The vertical plan is modelled by allocating M bins in the vertical directions. The forward modelling is defined by linearization of the radiative transfer equation around a reference model of the atmospheric parameter pattern. The goal is to estimate the atmospheric attenuation along the vertical path 3 km away from the radiometer location, where a transponder calibration device for the nadir looking RA-2 altimeter on board of the ENVISAT satellite is positioned. Estimation is performed through inversion of the brightness temperature values observed at different elevation angles, provided a proper parameterization of the model space. According to the agreement of the reference model to the actual conditions two cases are given: either the solution is acceptable or it is not reliable and a different inversion scheme is to be implemented. © 2012 IEEE.
