Upgrades for Global Hawk
• Recently completed extensive upgrades for HAMSR in preparation for Global Hawk deployment under NASA AITT program
• AITT objective was to make a state of the art operational instrument– State-of-the-art Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) added to 118 and 183 GHz
receivers– Data system upgraded to provide real time data access and on-board
science processing– Instrument re-packed into light-weight compact housing for deployment in
forward bay of GH– Perform detailed instrument calibration and characterization (Brown et al.,
TGRS, in press)

New 183 GHz Receiver
• Installed MIMRAM LNA developed by JPL under NASA ESTO ACT program into HAMSR 183 GHZ receivers
• Noise reduced by an order of magnitude– Noise at 0.1-0.2K level will
improve observation of small scale water vapor features

• The top of inversion layer, indicated by a minimum in qE, is observed around 700 mb
• Moist air is observed
below the inversion layer with drier air aloft

Monitoring Hurricane Intensity with HAMSR• Investigations using
AMSU data have shown strong correlation between 200mb temperature anomaly and hurricane intensityComparisons of AMSU warm core temperature anomaly to
maximum wind speed (left) and central pressure (right) [from Kidder et al. 2000]
• High-resolution observations from HAMSR can be used to predict hurricane intensity and improve algorithms for satellite sensors– Eye-wall contamination is a large error
source for satellite sensors

Warm anomaly propagated to lower levels as the storm intensified with the peak warm anomaly increasing by ~4C

Time Evolution of Inner Core Relative Humidity
The relative humidity in the upper troposphere decreased as lower troposphere remained moist

Tropical Cyclone Reconnaissance
• HAMSR on the Global Hawk is a powerful tool for monitoring the thermodynamic evolution of tropical cyclones when loitering near eye of storm for periods up to 24 hours– Track intensity by observing warm core anomaly and 3-D
precipitation structure– Useful for validating satellite retrievals
• Long duration data also key for demonstrating geostationary microwave sounding science -> PATH mission
