Humidity And Temperature PROfilers
-
RPG's profiling radiometers are mainly used to derive vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity (RPG-HATPRO). The infrared radiometer extension allows to cloud base height and ice cloud detection.The radiometer series covers high-resolution temperature profiling of the boundary layer and low-humidity applications. All models of the series provide accurate total amounts of atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid cloud. RPG radiometers are stand-alone systems for automated weather-station use under nearly all environmental conditions. A variety of retrieval algorithms (custom designed and global standard algorithms) can be selected.

LWP Radiometers
-
These radiometers are used for the remote sensing of integrated water vapor (IWV) and Liquid Water Path (LWP). Both quantities give column-integrated (total) values rather than vertically resolved profiles.

TAU Radiometers / Opacity Measurements
Tau-225 / Tau-350 Radiometer
-
The RPG-Tau-225 and RPG-Tau-350 radiometers are designed for the estimation of atmospheric opacity (optical thickness, tau) in the observation bands of radio astronomy applications. Both of these sub-mm frequencies can easily be combined in one single instrument. Other frequencies are available.
