AMSU Product 7 - 150 GHz

Brightness temperature at 150 GHz. Black to white: 198 K (or less) to 325 K. 150 GHz images are similar to 89 GHz images except that (1) they are generally brighter because the atmosphere is less transparent at 150 than at 89 GHz, (2) 150 GHz is more sensitive to scattering than is 89 GHz, and (3) along-track anomalies in the image are the result of radio frequency interference from the HRPT antennas.
