Abstract
Earth observation satellites are an increasingly important tool for studying the behavior of the Earth's atmosphere and even more for the behavior of climatological phenomena. In these cases, the critical point of modern science and engineering is effectivily the monitoring and development of increasingly accurate predictive models. WIVERN (Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope) mission aims to measure atmospheric winds with innovative precision in the field. This is done employing a Doppler radar, characterized by a section of the electromagnetic spectrum in the W band, which is a region with a wavelength of approximately 4 – 2.7 mm and covers the respective range between 110 GHz and 75 GHz.
It is also necessary to calculate the reflectivity of the Earth's surface to obtain these measurements
