Campaign : Microwave Radiometer Profiler Evaluation

2000.02.25 - 2000.08.22

Lead Scientist : James Liljegren

Description

The microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) is a new 12-channel radiometer developed by Radiometrics Corporation for measuring vertical profiles of temperature, water vapor, and low-resolution cloud liquid water. It was deployed at the Blackwell-Tonkawa airport, northeast of the ARM SGP central facility, from 25 February through 22 March 2000, in support of the IOP.

Subsequent to the IOP, it was deployed at the SGP central facility through 8 August 2000 for further evaluation. The initial results of that evaluation are described by Liljegren et al. in a paper presented at the 11th Symposium on Meteorological Observations and Instrumentation at the January 2001 AMS meeting in Albuquerque, NM.
