- The Tower Mounted Radiometer System (TMRS2) was a ground-based SSM/I simulator and surface energy balance monitoring system. The primary application of TMRS2 were to collect long-term (months) time-series data sets at sites representative of various biomes in support of land surface process modeling and remote sensing research. The system was also used in support of studies in the passive remote sensing of soil moisture, frozen/thawed soil state determination, permafrost, and snow. List of TMRS2 Instruments: TMRS2 was composed of a Radiometer Subsystem, a Micro-Meteorological Subsystem (MMS), and a Control and Data Management Subsystem (CDMS). Micro-Meteorological Instruments:
10 meter anemometer 2 meter anemometer and wind vane 2 m Air temperature and relative humidity Bowen Ratio Downwelling shortwave hemispherical flux Upwelling shortwave hemispherical flux Net radiometer w/aspirator Rain gage Rain gage wind screen TDR Soil moisture (10 probes Subsurface temperature (12 probes) Snowpack temperature (12 probes) Snowpack depth Subsurface heat flux (3 disks) CDMS Componets: Data logger and controller (hardware) Data logger and controller (hardware) Microwave/IR Radiometers:
19.35 GHz V & H polarizations 37.0 GHz V & H polarizations 85.5 GHz V or H polarization thermal IR radiometer Other Instruments: Video camera More information available at "http://www.eecs.umich.edu/grs/projects/tmrs2/"
