General Description

MTP5 is a remote sensing instrument that measures microwave radiation emitted from the lower 600 - 1000 m of the atmosphere, within the Planetary Boundary Layer. The atmosphere is a strong source of radiation but the changes due to temperature are small, so a very sensitive receiver is required. Unique radiometers and specially designed antennae operating in the 5mm waveband form the heart of MTP5.

Atmospheric radation is measured by scanning in angular steps from horizontal to vertical and the operating software processes the data into vertical height and temperature information. The data is stored and profiles are displayed graphically every 5 minutes, typically showing the temperature at 50m height intervals.
