Title
Design of the second generation microwave humidity sounder (MWHS-II) for Chinese meteorological satellite FY-3.
Abstract
Design and Technical specification parameters of MWHS-II (MicroWaves Humidity Sounder) of FY-3 satellite are presented, which include much improvements compared to MWHS onboard FY-3A/B satellite launched in 2008 and 2010. Especially MWHS-II adds 8 channels at 118.75GHz to sound temperature information for the first time internationally. The simulation results show that MWHS-II will play an important role in the meteorological sounding system for measuring global atmospheric temperature and water vapour profiles. © 2012 IEEE.
