Science Case for Microwave Wavelength Measurements
Microwave radiometer can provide a powerful tool for examining the temperatures, dielectric, and physical properties of surfaces and subsurfaces of solid bodies in our Solar System. Microwave emission from a body can be used to reconstruct information about shallow (upper ~10m) physical temperature and material properties.
