The invention relates to a scaling method of a foundation
microwave radiometer. The scaling method comprises: obtaining
voltage values output through each channel in different attenuation values, calculating corresponding equivalent
brightness temperature values through attenuation values, calculating
system non-linear factors and
noise source injection noises according to corresponding relation between each equivalent
brightness temperature value and the output
voltage of each channel, and completing preliminary scaling; according to sounding profile
data matching with time and place, establishing a corresponding relation of
atmosphere optics thickness and
atmosphere quality, substituting scaling parameters, obtaining a scaling relation curve, determining the scaling parameters according to the scaling relation curve; observing
cold air and
cold air coupling noises at each attenuation value, obtaining
voltage values output through each channel at different attenuation values and fitting the attenuation values and the voltage values; calculating the equivalent
noise temperature when an antenna aligns with the
cold air through the relation of the attenuation values and the output voltage values of the attenuator, and determining the
brightness temperature values corresponding to the cold air observed by the foundation
microwave radiometer in different time and places.
