Description

DMSP/F15, Special Sensor Microwave Water Vapor Profiler, SSM/T-2, The SSM/T-2 water profiler sensor is a five channel, total power microwave radiometer designed to provide global monitoring of water vapor concentration in the atmosphere under all conditions. With two window channels and three channels in the 183.31 GHz water vapor resonance line, SSM/T-2 is able to capitalize on the reduced sensitivity of the microwave region to cloud attenuation.
