DESCRIPTION:The IEEE OES Oceanography and Meteorology Technology Committee 
 welcomes you to this invited talk!\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Domenico Cimini (Nation
 al Research Council of Italy\, Institute of Methodologies for the Environm
 ental Monitoring)\n\nTitle: Microwave Radiometry: From Uncertainty to Netw
 orking\n\nAbstract: Nowadays\, ground-based microwave radiometers (MWR) ar
 e robust instruments providing continuous unattended operations and real-t
 ime atmospheric observations under nearly all-weather conditions.\n\nGroun
 d-based MWR observations have the potential to help fill the observational
  gap in the atmospheric boundary layer\, which is crucial for several appl
 ications including Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)\, renewable energy y
 ield\, and air quality monitoring. In addition\, long-term MWR observation
 s are useful to complement radiosonde observations for reference-quality c
 limate monitoring of upper-air. This lecture will review analyses and tool
 s developed in the last decade to foster the use of ground- based MWR netw
 orks for various applications\, including MWR instrument calibration\, abs
 orption model uncertainty characterization\, radiative transfer codes\, an
 d initiatives for implementing MWR operational networks.\n\nTime: 10:30am 
 on 8 October 2025\n\nSeminar Link: https://mun.webex.com/meet/weimin\n\nSp
