Title: University of Miami G-band Vapor Radiometer Calibration at SGP during November 2023

Abstract

From October 13, 2023 until November 16, 2023, the GVR was deployed to the DOE ARM SGP site, to take advantage of their regular near-by radiosonde launches under clear-sky conditions. The latter were determined using the SGP total sky imagery data. The GVR brightness temperatures in these clear-sky conditions were compared to those calculated by a radiative transfer code (PAMTRA) based on the SGP radiosondes. During the campaign, 4 suitable clear-sky episodes occurred that could be used for the GVR calibration. While few in number, these proved to be enough to satisfy our goal.
