Abstract
We present recommended definitions for common terms in microwave remote-sensing radiometry. Terms are grouped into three chapters: General Terminology, Real-Aperture Radiometers, and Polarimetric Radiometry. AN alphabetical index lists the terms that are defined and the chapters in which the definitions are located.Citation
