Abstract

A Microwave Temperature Profiler (MTP) was developed for research with the NSF-NCAR Gulfstream-V aircraft. MTP is a scanning microwave radiometer that measures thermal emission at spectral lines in the 50-60 GHz oxygen complex. A statistical retrieval method derives vertical temperature profiles from the measurements using radiosonde profiles in the vicinity of the aircraft as a priori information. This paper describes application of MTP data for analysis of data collected in recent field projects with varied scientific objectives.
