The Conically-Scanning Two Look Airborne Radiometer (C-STAR) is currently being constructed as a satellite simulator to investigate the feasibility of measuring global ocean vectors with passive microwave instrumentation. The C-STAR will be a total power, four-channel radiometer package remotely sensing 37.1 GHz signatures from a high altitude aircraft platform. The instrument package is being developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and the Global Hydrology and Climate Center (GHCC) for flight on a NASA ER-2 aircraft during 1996. 6 refs., 2 tabs.
