Brightness temperatures of the MiRAC-P microwave radiometer onboard the Polarstern during the MOSAiC expedition ...

The data set contains daily files of atmospheric radiation measured by the MiRAC-P (or LHUMPRO-243-340) microwave radiometer (see Mech et al., 2019) onboard the Polarstern during cruise PS122 (MOSAiC expedition). The data covers the range October 2019 to October 2020. The atmospheric radiation measu...

Description
Summary:The data set contains daily files of atmospheric radiation measured by the MiRAC-P (or LHUMPRO-243-340) microwave radiometer (see Mech et al., 2019) onboard the Polarstern during cruise PS122 (MOSAiC expedition). The data covers the range October 2019 to October 2020. The atmospheric radiation measurements are given as brightness temperatures in six double side band averaged G band (183.31 +/- 0.6 to 183.31 +/- 7.5 GHz) and two higher frequency (243 and 340 GHz) channels. The brightness temperatures are provided for all available times so that it is up to the user to decide whether or not to use the values if quality flags are set. Additionally included are temperature, pressure and humidity measurements at the instrument location as well as quality flags characterizing the instrument and retrieval performance. ...
