Microwave radiometer measurements of sky brightness temperature
This dataset contains measurements of downwelling brightness temperature at 16 frequencies between 22.2 and 150 GHz at approximately 5 s temporal resolution. The observations were made by two radiometers (from Radiometer Physics GmbH) that are time-synced. This dataset contains only sky brightness t...

This dataset contains measurements of downwelling brightness temperature at 16 frequencies between 22.2 and 150 GHz at approximately 5 s temporal resolution.

This dataset contains only sky brightness temperatures; however, these data can be used to retrieve precipitable water vapor, cloud liquid water path, and profiles of temperature in the boundary layer. These radiometers periodically collect elevation scan data (horizon to horizon) that will be used to improve accuracy of the retrieved temperature profiles and to use for in-field calibrations (via tip-curve analysis).
