Target class: spaceborne microwave radar instrument Context triple: [Ku-band Scatterometer, instanceOf, spaceborne microwave radar instrument]
-
A.
spaceborne synthetic aperture radar instrument
A spaceborne synthetic aperture radar instrument is an orbiting radar system that transmits microwave pulses and uses the motion of the spacecraft to synthesize a large antenna aperture, producing high-resolution images of Earth's surface regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
-
B.
spaceborne radiometer
A spaceborne radiometer is an instrument mounted on a satellite that measures the intensity of electromagnetic radiation emitted, reflected, or scattered by the Earth or other celestial bodies to infer physical properties such as temperature, composition, and surface characteristics.
-
C.
spaceborne radar sounder
A spaceborne radar sounder is an orbital remote sensing instrument that transmits radio waves toward a planetary body and records their echoes to probe and map subsurface structures and properties.
-
D.
microwave radiometer
A microwave radiometer is an instrument that measures natural microwave emissions from objects or the atmosphere to determine their physical properties, such as temperature, moisture, or composition.
-
E.
scatterometer
chosen
A scatterometer is a remote sensing instrument that measures the reflection or scattering of microwave radar signals from surfaces, typically used to determine wind speed and direction over oceans or surface roughness on land.
- F. None of above.
Provenance (1 batch)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
