Validate new technologies in both passive microwave radiometry and GPS radio occultation. New ultra-compact and low-power technology for multi-channel and multi-band and passive microwave radiometers and new GPS receiver and patch antenna array technology for GPS radio occultation retrieval of both temperature-pressure profiles in the atmosphere and electron density profiles in the ionosphere. In addition will test a new approach to spaceborne microwave radiometer calibration using adjacent GPSRO measurements.
