For the first time the possibility of estimation of rain intensity by upwelling Earth radiation was shown by the experiment conducted on the satellite “Kosmos-243” in 1986 [1]. Areas of precipitation falling over sea surface were registered by typical emission of brightness temperature at wavelengths of 0.8, 1.35 and 3.2 cm. By the magnitude of emission several rain intensity levels may be distinguished. Further development of precipitation observation from space is related with American satellite DMSP with microwave radiometric system SSM/I [2], which received radiation in a wide range of wavelengths from 0.35 to 1.6 cm. This system made it possible to carry out the study of precipitation fields over the surface and sea. The precipitation in radiometric images appeared as areas with lower brightness temperature at 0.35 cm wavelength. This is accounted for by the increase of the Earth albedo due to multiple microwaves scattering on large rain drops. Over recent years the remote sensing of precipitation was conducted on Japan-USA satellite TRMM. A large project GPS (Global Precipitation Mission) is under preparation.","PeriodicalId":129834,"journal":{"name":"2010 INTERNATIONAL KHARKOV SYMPOSIUM ON PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING OF MICROWAVES, MILLIMETER AND SUBMILLIMETER WAVES","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114971055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time it is shown that in the far region of the terahertz frequency range, where the conductivity of metal is high, at a wavelength of the transmitted radiation more than 50 µm spectrum of the waveguide can be represented by classical modal composition in the approximation of the ideal metal. In the near part of the terahertz range, where the conductivity of the metal substantially lower spectrum of waveguide modes of a hollow metallic waveguide can be described by a set of hybrid modes. The presence of the transition region in the behavior of electrodynamic properties of metallic waveguides in the wavelength range λ = 20 − 50 µm is founded. In this range the key parameter for estimation of the applica-bility of the mode approaches is the ratio of the exciting beam radius w to the waveguide radius a (w0 = w/a). Thus, when analyzing the transmission of terahertz laser radiation on small sized metal waveguide (a/γ ≤ 50) using in calculating the approximation of hybrid modes can only be justified if the excitation waveguides relatively high in relation to the radius of the waveguide beam radiation (w0 > 0,4). In the case of excitation of waveguides by narrow beams of radiation (w0 < 0,4), metal waveguides can retain electromagnetic properties inherent in the ideal metal waveguides.","PeriodicalId":129834,"journal":{"name":"2010 INTERNATIONAL KHARKOV SYMPOSIUM ON PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING OF MICROWAVES, MILLIMETER AND SUBMILLIMETER WAVES","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116856884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
