	abstract = {<p>This paper presents an approach to the fusion of SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave/Imager) data from different resolutions, based on the prior statistical information about the data. The result is an estimated field that lives in a finer scale than any of the measurements. We apply a Wavelet Transform that increases speed and decreases memory requirements by sparsifying and preconditioning the statistics. This approach makes feasible the use of reprogrammable FPGA implementations for onboard satellite data processing, which greatly enhances flexibility and, most importantly, reduces communication burdens by limiting the extent to which raw, unprocessed data are transmitted to the ground.</p>

	title = {Passive microwave imagery of a tropical storm near 118 GHz thermal and precipitation structure},
	booktitle = {IGARSS {\textquoteright}94},
	year = {1994},
	abstract = {<p>An imaging microwave radiometer with eight double-sideband channels centered on the 118.75-GHz (1-)oxygen resonance was flown on a NASA ER-2 high altitude aircraft over a tropical cyclone in the Coral Sea, east of Australia. An eyewall of strong convection and a warm core within the eye are clearly visible. Brightness temperatures observed within the eye are approximately 10K warmer than those observed in clear air 100 km away. This warming extends somewhat beyond the eyewall in the highest (most opaque) channel. Two passes three hours apart may reveal a slight weakening of the convective activity. This flight provides the first known calibrated high-resolution 18.75 GHz imagery of a tropical storm. Temperature profiles and cloud-top altitudes may be inferred from the data</p>
