MP-Series Microwave Profilers

Rugged, third-generation radiometers deliver continuous temperature, humidity and liquid profiles for state-of-the-art Nowcasting and short-term forecasting. Patented technology provides portability with reliability and accuracy proven during more than four million hours of tropical, polar and mid-latitude operations. Frequency Agility, Rain Effect Mitigation, an internal Infrared Sensor, modular design and browser-based software provides optimum, cost-effective operations at any location in all environmental conditions.

MP-3000A Temperature, Humidity and Liquid Profiles
Includes 21 K-band (22 to 30 GHz) and 14 V-band (51 to 59 GHz) microwave channels.

MP-2500A Temperature Profiles and Integrated Liquid
Includes 14 V-band (51 to 59 GHz) microwave channels. Upgradeable to MP-3000.

MP-1500A Water Vapor Profiles and Integrated Liquid
Includes 21 K-band (22 to 30 GHz) microwave channels. Upgradeable to MP-3000.

MP-183A Dry Climate Humidity Profiles
Includes 12 183-band (170 to 183 GHz) channels. High moisture sensitivity provides optimum performance in polar, high altitude and desert climates.

MP-Series radiometers deliver continuous temperature, humidity and liquid profiles that define local weather. The temperature and humidity profiles have comparable or better accuracy than co-temporal radiosondes, and far better accuracy than radiosondes with 12 hour latency. The radiometer also provides liquid water profiles essential for accurate precipitation forecasting and climate modeling. Optional software fed by continuous thermodynamic data provides a suite of forecast tools and indices for optimal Nowcasting and severe weather alerts.
