Abstract

The characteristics of temperature and humidity profiles obtained via retrieval techniques using a Radiometrics 12-channel profiling microwave radiometer are studied. The data collected are associated with a multi-year study of the development and dissipation of fog in the New York City area. The study is centered at a field site at Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL) in central Long Island. The profiling radiometer provides 6 minute updates of temperature and moisture profiles from the surface up to 10 km. The 0000 UTC KOKX sounding with the profile from the radiometer at that time are compared and several off-zenith retrieval techniques during a cold front passage at BNL on 29 November 2003 are observed.
