摘要

Temporal Experiment for Storms and Tropical Systems-Demonstration (TEMPEST- D) is a 6U CubeSat satellite with a cross-track scanning millimeter-wave radiometer measuring at five frequencies from 87 to 181 GHz. It employs a directdetection architecture with InP HEMT monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) low-noise amplifiers and related new technologies. An end-to-end two-point external calibration is performed every 2-s rotation of the scanning mirror, based on observations of the cosmic microwave background and an internal blackbody calibration target, with three thermistors to monitor the target physical temperature. Corrections for antenna pattern effects and cross-scan biases based on prelaunch measured values were updated using data from an on-orbit calibration pitch maneuver. Validation of the observed brightness temperatures ( TB) is performed by comparing to coincident nonprecipitating ocean observations from five wellcalibrated on-orbit instruments, including Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Microwave Imager (GMI) and four Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) sensors on board NOAA-19, MetOp-A, MetOp-B, andMetOp-C satellites. Absolute calibration accuracy is within 1 K for all channels, well within the 4-K requirement. Calibration precision, or stability over time, is within 0.6 K for all channels, also well within the 2-K requirement. The intrinsic noise of TEMPEST-D is lower than MHS, resulting in similar on-orbit noise equivalent differential temperatures (NEDTs), even though TEMPEST-D has a much shorter integration time of 5 ms as compared to 18 ms for MHS. As a result, although the TEMPEST-D radiometer is substantially smaller, lower power, and lower cost than similar current operational radiometers, it has comparable or better performance in terms of instrument noise, calibration accuracy, and calibration stability or precision.
