AbstractDeveloping countries are presently undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization as a result numerous gases are being released into the atmosphere which affect the global environment and climate. In the present paper, we have studied the potentiality of microwave radiometers in mapping atmospheric anomalies such as air pollutants, aerosols, hydrometeors and sandstorms. The microwave attenuation and time series analysis of the dielectric constant of atmosphere are discussed for the Indian industrialized and urbanized cities to assess the climatic perturbations qualitatively and quantitatively.
