Microwave Radiometer data (MWR Profiles - QME), water vapor, temp, cloud liquid water, precip water retrievals - mwrp

The microwave radiometer profiler (MWRP) provides vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and cloud liquid water content as a function of height or pressure at approximately 5-minute intervals for nearly all weather conditions. \n \nThe profiles are derived from measurements of absolute microwave radiances (expressed as \"brightness temperatures\") obtained at 12 frequencies in the range of 22-30 GHz and 51-59 GHz. \n \nThe data are useful for input to numerical weather forecast models and others that require continuous, high-temporal-resolution profiles. The microwave radiance measurements are useful for testing models of microwave radiation transfer used to derive the profiles.
