Abstract

Polarimetric microwave radiometer is used to measuring target polarization information, whichopen up a new area for passive microwave remote sensing. In order to understand and use this new technology, further improve the capacity ofusingsatellite data toretrieve the parametersof sea surface and atmospheric physics, this article describes the construction of polarimetric microwave radiative transfer model,principle and algorithmsofatmospheric physical parameters inversion, as well as the sea surface wind vector. Studies have shown that polarimetric microwave radiometer could be widely used inthe retrievals of many parameters such as sea surface wind vector, sea surface temperature, water vapor content and cloud liquid water content, especially the polarimetric information is useful to remove the wind direction ambiguity.
