The Microwave Profiling Radiometer (MPR) is a ground-based passive radiometer manufactured by Radiometrics Corporation. It measures brightness temperature across 21 K-band frequency (21-30 GHz) channels and 14 V-band frequency (51-59 GHz) channels. These measurements can be used to retrieve cloud base temperature, cloud base height, integrated liquid, and profiles of temperature, water vapor, relative humidity, and liquid water. MPR has a vertical range from the surface to 10 km and provides retrievals every 1 minute. It has a height resolution of 50 m from the surface to 0.5 km, 100 m from 0.5 to 2 km, and 250 m from 2 to 10 km.
