摘要 There are abnormal data of brightness temperature detected by a microwave radiometer in daily use. In this paper, based on the statistical analysis of the observation data of MP3000 microwave radiometer in the southern suburb of Beijing, check of extreme values, time consistency inspection, precipitation inspection, consistency discrimination, power spectrum estimation, and other quality control methods were used to evaluate the data of brightness temperature obtained by the microwave radiometer. It was compared with the observation data of a meteorological tower in Xianghe Station. It is found that the profiles of temperature detected by the microwave radiometer after quality control were very close to the observation results of the tower, indicating that the quality control scheme of the microwave radiometer is feasible and effective.
