DSN and GAVRT observations of Jupiter at 13 GHz and the calibration of the Cassini radar instrument for passive radiometryOne objective of the Cassini-Jupiter Microwave Observing Campaign observations was to measure Jupiter's average disk temperature with high accuracy at 13.78 GHz, which is the frequency of the radar receiver on the spacecraft. Preliminary results of the ground-based observations are reported. A second objective of the Cassini-JMOC project included an educational compment that allowed middle- and high school students to participate directly in the ground-based observations and data analysis.
