Combining UHF radar wind profiler and microwave radiometer for the estimation of atmospheric humidity profiles

Capabilities of an integrated ground-based system for the operational measurement of humidity profiles, using both an UHF wind profiler and a radiometer, are discussed. The combination takes advantage of the complementary characteristics of each instrument. The radiometer is able to give a fair eval...
