Abstract

The possibilities of modern foreign and domestic ground-based microwave radiometric systems of measuring structural atmospheric parameters (temperature profiles, water vapor, and liquid water) are analized. Data of Russian microwave temperature profilers MTP-5 are used in the study of the urban heat island vertical structure, for improvement of the forecast of adverse meteorological phenomena, and monitoring of thermal stratification of the atmospheric boundary layer in polar regions and during solar eclipses. Some results of cloud parameters monitoring with the use of multi-channel microwave radiometric complex “Microradcom” are presented.
