Abstract

We report the development of high-precision atmospheric radiometers at 22 and 36 GHz for continuous monitoring of atmospheric absorption at the RATAN-600. Continuous monitoring will allow user to the correct atmospheric absorption antenna temperature of the observed sources, including reference ones. To evaluate the absorption we use the difference and relation radio brightness temperatures of the atmosphere at two wavelengths. The characteristics of the radiometers, expected long-term stability at the level of 0.5 K and the accuracy of absorption estimate ion of about of 10-15 % are evaluated.

at 22 and 36 GHz for continuous monitoring of atmospheric absorption
at the RATAN-600. Continuous monitoring will allow user to the
correct atmospheric absorption antenna temperature of the observed
sources, including reference ones. To evaluate the absorption we use
the difference and relation radio brightness temperatures of the
atmosphere at two wavelengths. The characteristics of the
radiometers, expected long-term stability at the level of 0.5 K and
the accuracy of absorption estimate ion of about of 10-15 % are
evaluated.
