Passive microwave radiometers can be grouped into two categories : conical scanning radiometers and cross-track scanning radiometers. A passive microwave radiometer is considered a conical scanning radiometer when the footprint size and earth incidence angle remain unchanged across the scan line, while a cross-track scanning radiometer has varying footprint size and earth incidence angle across the scan line.  4, record 1, English, - conical%2Dscanning%20radiometer

Microwave scatterometer ... measures the microwave scattering or reflective properties of surfaces. It is also non-imaging, and is specifically designed to measure backscattering. This requires that it detect more detailed spectral information than imaging radar but has reduced spatial resolution and aerial coverage. The surface is scanned in two or more directions, usually by multiple sensors. The primary application of microwave scatterometers is to measure wind vectors (that is, speed and direction) over the ocean surface. This is based on the principle of ocean ’roughness’ being caused by wind and resulting in a characteristic surface pattern which may be identified by its scattering properties.  4, record 9, English, - microwave%20scatterometer
