Variations in the Nimbus-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer cold reference antenna signals and temperatures during two orbital periodsThe observed effects of solar radiance on the Nimbus 7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) cold reference signal are discussed. Unexpected diurnal responses in this signal sometimes larger than the typical cold reference signal resulted from acquisition of the solar disc. Solar heating of the SMMR components as a function of orbital locations was correlated with the cold reference radiances for two sets of sequential orbit six months apart.
