Abstract:

The ground-based microwave radiometer for real-time and continuous atmospheric temperature profile, humidity profile and liquid water profile are introduced. The ability of the microwave radiometer is proved by comparing the temperature and humidity profile from the radiosonde with the integrated water vapor from sun-photometer. And two typical weather event processes are analyzed based on the observation data. It is certificated that the microwave radiometer can monitor the process information of cloud and weather changes.

Key words: microwave radiometer, temperature profile, integrated water vapor
