DPR
Dual Polarization Radiometer

The Dual Polarization Radiometer (DPR) is a ground-based radiometer manufactured by Radiometer Physics. It measures brightness temperature at 90 GHz and 150 GHz. These measurements can be used for rain observations, soil moisture measurements, total liquid water content, and cloud microphysics. DPR has a temporal resolution of 1 second and a spatial resolution of 6 degrees half power beam width (HPBW).
