The ADvanced MIcrowave RAdiometer for Rain Identification (ADMIRARI) is a ground-based passive microwave radiometer. ADMIRARI measures brightness temperatures at 10.7, 21.0, and 36.5 GHz across two polarization planes. It is also equipped with a Micro Rain Radar (MRR) to observe rain structure and a cloud lidar to estimate cloud base. ADMIRARI's measurements can be used to determine the rain/cloud liquid water path (LWP) and integrated water vapor (IWV). It has a temporal resolution of 1 second and a spatial resolution of 5 degrees.
