This data set was acquired by L-band airborne microwave radiometer on July 5, 2012 in the middle reaches of Heihe River. The L-band frequency is 1.4GHz, zenith angle observation, V polarization and H polarization information; The plane took off from Zhangye airport at 10:50 (Beijing time, the same below) and landed at 12:20. The flight lasted 1.5 hours. During the observation period, the flight altitude is about 2000m and the flight speed is about 220-250km / hr.
The original data is divided into two parts: microwave radiometer data and geographic location KMZ data. Microwave radiometer data includes two data files of V polarization and H polarization, with a resolution of 600 m. each data file contains the observed TB value and the corresponding scanning beam ID, incident angle, position, time stamp (UTC) and other flight attitude information. The KMZ file gives the TB value distribution data of 1km grid in the flying area at 38.5 incidence angle. The microwave radiometer was calibrated for "hot" and "cold" radiation before and at the end of the aircraft. Electromagnetic wave interference shall be considered for microwave radiometer data. V-polarization TB value is strongly affected by electromagnetic wave interference and H-polarization is less affected
