Yasmine Calisesi Ozone Radiometer at 142 GHz:Calibration
The Stratospheric Ozone Monitoring Radiometer SOMORA • Developed by the IAP for MeteoSwiss • Tuned to Ozone at 142.175 GHz • Improved version of the GROMOS instrument • Operated at the IAP since January 2000 • Moved to Payerne in June 2002
IF 7.1 Ghz Rotating Planar Mirror Eccosorb CV-3 Hot Load T = 310 K Cold Load T=77K SOMORA Quasi-Optics
Heating Element Fans PT 100 Eccosorb CV-3 PT 100 Polystyrene Window SOMORA Hot Load
Eccosorb CV-3 SOMORA Cold Load Packaging Foam Material Dewar Vessel
Expansion Vessel P = 0.4 Bar Liquid N2 Inlet Gaz-phase N2 exhaust
In the RJ limit (hn << kT): P ÷ T P can be replaced by T in RT model Temperature Definitions • Physical Temperature • „Planck“ Brightness Temp.:
Example: Planck and RJ emission curves at various frequencies Brightness Temperature [K]
Conclusions: • SOMORA: Total power radiometer • P÷Tin considered T rangeTotal power calibration formula can be used • TRJ≠TPRadiative transfer computed in the units ofP
