Microwave Scintillometer RPG-MWSC-160

Radiometer physics GmbH (RPG) offers the only commercially available Microwave Scintillometer RPG-MWSC-160. It is designed for the combined operation with an optical Large Aperture Scintillometer (LAS) to simultaneously observe sensible and latent heat fluxes. RPG has now introduced the second instrument generation (G2). The RPG-MWSC-160-G2 includes an automatic gain control on the receiving end. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-term deployments, because the mean received signal is automatically adjusted to seasonal variations.

Areas of Application
