UND Microwave Radiometer Data

Project:

Perdigao

Summary

This preliminary data set contains vertical profiles of temperature, water vapor, relative humidity, and liquid water from the University of Notre Dame Microwave Radiometer (MWR) that was primarily located to the east of the Perdigao double ridge and for four days at the Orange Grove site in the center of the Vale do Cobrao near the NSSL/OU CLAMPS MWR. In addition to the level 2 profiles, this data set contains the level 0 raw, unprocessed data in engineering units and the level 1 brightness temperatures for each channel. A final version is expected to be released by July 2018.
