Radiometers

Areas of Application

RPG Radiometer physics GmbH offers microwave and sub-mm radiometers for a wide range of applications. We deliver turn-key systems with fully functional software control and data acquisition with state-of-the-art technology.

Our microwave radiometers are used for measurements of

• Vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature (up to 10 km)
• High-precision vertical profiles of boundary-layer temperature
• Vertical profiles of atmospheric humidity (up to 10 km, absolute and relative humidity)
• Column-integrated total amount of water vapour (IWV, integrated water vapour, kg/m²)
• Column-integrated total amount of liquid water (LWP, liquid water path, kg/m²)
• Vertical profiles of cloud liquid water (limited resolution)
• Atmospheric stability (now-casting of convection, thunderstorms)
• Measurement of fog
• Zenith and slant path wet delay, dry delay, total delay
• Attenuation of radio-propagation
• Soil moisture, snow- and vegetation cover
