Alternate Title: Microwave radiometric profiler (MWR)

Brief Description (Abstract):

The microwave radiometer profiler (MWR) provides vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and cloud liquid water content as a function of height every 3-minute intervals. The vertical profiles are derived from measurements of absolute microwave radiances (brightness temperatures) obtained at frequencies in the range of 22-30 GHz and 51-59 GHz. The data are useful for input to numerical weather forecast models and others that require continuous, high-temporal-resolution profiles.

Status: Ongoing

Purpose: To study the vertical profilesof temperature, humidity, and cloud liquid water content.
