Brief Description
This session will address all aspects of the microwave remote sensing of the Earth's and other atmospheres in the Solar System. This includes new ground-based, air-and spaceborne instrument developments, development proposals and related topics (i.e. receivers, spectrometers, components, mechanisms, concepts, calibration, the baseline problem, etc.), radiative transfer and retrieval simulations (uplooking, nadir, limb) new atmospheric observations (Earth, planets, comets, moons, Sun), their interpretation (structure, evolution, kinematics, dynamics and chemistry of atmospheres) and validation (intercomparisons).
