Description

The RPG-HATPRO is situated on the roof of a nine-floor university building in Innsbruck. The microwave radiometer operates at two different frequency bands to retrieve vertical profiles of temperature and humidity. It is set up to alternate between vertical measurements and scans along the axis of the Inn Valley to add more information in the boundary layer. Information on the retrieval algorithm can be found in Massaro et al. (2015).
