CoSMIR-H
Conical Scanning Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer - Hyperspectral

The Conical Scanning Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer Hyperspectral (CoSMIR-H) is a passive airborne hyperspectral radiometer. It is a modified version of CoSMIR that replaces the 50 and 183 GHz receivers with hyperspectral receivers in 50-58 GHz and 175-191 GHz frequencies. CoSMIR-H still retains the dual-polarized channels at 89 and 165 GHz. It measures brightness temperature to retrieve vertical profiles of temperature, water vapor, and cloud properties. CoSMIR-H has a nadir footprint of 1.6 km and 1.4 km at the 50-58 GHz and 89-183 GHz frequencies, respectively, for a flight altitude of 20 km. It has an integration time of 10 ms.
