The Microwave Radiometer Working Group [Technical Committees]

The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Instrumentation and Future Technologies Technical Committee (IFT-TC) seeks to foster international cooperation to advance the state of the art in geoscience and remote sensing instrumentation and technologies that improve knowledge for the betterment of society and the global environment. The mission of the IFT-TC is to facilitate, engage, and coordinate GRSS members and communities at large to assess the current state of the art in remote sensing instruments and technology, identify new instrument concepts and relevant technology trends, and recognize enabling technologies for future instruments.
