36:. The Nimbus 7 SMMR lasted from 25 October 1978 until 20 August 1987. It measured dual-polarized microwave radiances, at 6.63, 10.69, 18.0, 21.0, and 37.0 GHz, from the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Its primary legacy has been the creation of areal 43:
The final few months of operation were considerably fortuitous as they allowed the calibration of the radiometers and their products with the first results from the
