High Resolution Microwave Radiometer
Experimental high-resolution microwave radiometer channels included in Sentinel-6 AMR-C for coastal atmospheric correction support.
The High Resolution Microwave Radiometer is an experimental millimetre-wave subsystem within the AMR-C microwave-radiometer context on Sentinel-6A and Sentinel-6B, scoped to coastal altimetry correction rather than an independent mission payload.[1] It uses 90, 130 and 168 GHz channels, complementing AMR-C heritage 18.7, 23.8 and 34 GHz channels used for wet-tropospheric correction.[1] Its role is to extend microwave wet-tropospheric retrievals closer to coasts under cloud-free conditions and to support Poseidon-4 high-resolution SAR mode.[1] For satellite-altimetry users, the relevant application is coastal wet-tropospheric path-delay correction support where land proximity makes standard radiometer correction harder.[1] HRMR is an experimental supporting capability with no independent HRMR mission requirements or objectives.[1]
