Microwave Radiometer Instrument Will Provide Added Precision By Correcting For Inaccuracies Created By Water Vapour In The Atmosphere
A new, highly precise MicroWave Radiometer (MWR) built by Airbus is ready to start operations after the launch of the Sentinel-3B satellite built by Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor for this program. It is one of the essential instruments of the Sentinel-3 spacecraft, measuring atmospheric humidity as supplementary information for tropospheric path correction of the altimeter signal.
