Instrument Debrief for AMPR

Sortie Number:  05-9030

Instrument Performance:

 AMPR collected good antenna temperature data from hurricane Emily. Calibration remains an uncertain issue. Empircally calibrated brightness temperatures are likely to be produced in the post-field phase.

Very distinct closed eye with strong ice signatures at the 3 higher frequencies (19, 37, and 85 GHz). Some scattering at 10 GHz channel in both eyewall passes, which we have rarely observed in the past.
