--- Background

A Radiometrics MP-3000A multi-channel microwave radiometer was integrated into CLAMPS-2.  This system observes downwelling microwave radiance data (expressed as brightness temperature in units of Kelvin).  These brightness temperatures span a range of frequencies from 22.0 to 58.8 GHz.  From these observations, time-series of precipitable water vapor (PWV) and liquid water path (LWP) have been retrieved using the statistical method of Turner et al. (2007).
