L-band and C-band microwave radar observations can help to measure the properties of snow cover on land by providing information about the soil-snow boundary condition.
In this paper, we discuss the passive and active Ku-band observations of the Earth made by the Cassini RADAR during its Earth swingby.
A set of geophysical error sources for the microwave remote sensing of ocean surface salinity have been examined.

This Algorithm Theoretical Basis (ATB) document describes the algorithms used to generate the parameters of certain ancillary products and datasets used during Level 2 processing of Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MIST) data.
Thermochemical equilibrium theory which starts with temperature/pressure profiles, compositional information and thermodynamic data for condensable species in the jovian planet atmospheres predicts layers of condensate clouds in the upper troposphere.

In the terrestrial atmosphere clouds are familiar as vast collections of small water drops or ice cyrstals suspended in the air. The study of clouds touches on many facets of armospheric science. The chemistry of clouds is tied to the chemistry of the surrounding atmosphere.
Lower frequency microwave radar observations can help to measure the propertise of snow cover on land by providing information about the soil-snow boundary condition.

In 1996 and 1997 the Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) obtained the first measurements of Jupiter's nightside midultraviolet (MUV) polar auroral spectrum from 1620 to 3231 A at 13 A resolution.
This paper illustrates an improved geophysical model function (GMF) for Ku-band ocean backstcatter at high winds and preliminary geophysical model function for polarimetric brightness temperatures acquired from aircraft measurements.
