The use of satellite beacons for meteorological researchThe use of microwave beacon transmissions from synchronous and near synchronous satellites is discussed as a means of measuring atmospheric absorption. It is suggested that, with a fixed angle of elevation of a synchronous satellite, complete diurnal coverage of the integrated absorption is available. In addition, with refined interferometric equipment, angle of arrival studies can be made and phase deviations measured.
