Atmospheric Profiles in a Minute – Passive Microwave Radiometers Deliver Upper Air Data with un-matched temporal resolution and 24/7 all-weather operations.
The RPG radiometers are deployed world wide in different climate conditions: Arctic and tropical regions (-45°C to +50°C), high mountains (Atacama desert, 5.500m asl), strong wind speeds (up to 250 km/h on Zugspitze mountain, 2.600m asl), snow, ice, rain, sea spray (Lampedusa island, Mediterranean sea) and even on Oceanic research vessel Polarstern, cruising the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to environmental hardening, the software has also been adapted to meet today’s user needs in terms of quality flagging, data black/white-listing and status information of instrument hardware-sanity. As a bottom line, a decade of research and technology development has lead to a mature technology that is ready to be deployed for worldwide operational networks.
