Our UAV sensor packages are leading the way in using the latest drone technologies to study the atmospheric boundary layer and atmospheric chemistry. 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the world.
Profiling Radiometers
Radiometrics Corporation designs, develops and manufactures microwave radiometers for atmospheric remote sensing. The Radiometrics MP-3000A Microwave Profiler is a rugged hyper-spectral radiometer that delivers continuous temperature, humidity and liquid profiles that are essential for accurate high-impact local weather forecasting. Using proprietary technology to ensure optimum performance in a highly portable package, the radiometer design has been proven during millions of hours of worldwide operations. Patented frequency agility, state-of-the-art component technology, modular design and proprietary Rain Effect Mitigation ensure optimum, cost-effective operations at any location in nearly all weather conditions. The MP-3000A is free from electromagnetic or acoustic emissions and operates reliably during high winds and precipitation. It is the instrument of choice wherever continuous upper air thermodynamic soundings are needed for accurate high-impact local weather and dispersion forecasting.
Sodars
Radiometrics has acquired the assets of Atmospheric Systems Corporation (“ASC”), manufacturer of advanced sodar profiler hardware and software tools (www.minisodar.com) for wind profiling in the lower boundary layer. Radiometrics currently offers technical support, parts and repairs for all ASC sodar products, and is integrating the ASC MiniSodar product line into its manufacturing plan.
Radar Wind Profilers
Radiometric’s RAPTOR™ Radar Wind Profiler (RWP) product line is a field-proven implementation of the latest technical advances, resulting in RWP systems optimized for unattended operation and provision of continuous profiles of vertical and horizontal winds for weather forecasting, aviation, space and military applications. RAPTOR RWP systems operate at frequencies between 50-1290 MHz (nominal) and can be configured to address a broad range of Boundary Layer thru Tropospheric/Stratospheric profiling needs, with power, antenna-size and transmit frequency tailored to satisfy country- and application-specific requirements.
Aerosol Lidars
Micro Pulse LiDAR (MPL) instruments, help scientists, meteorologists and air quality professionals monitor clouds and aerosols to better understand the structure of our atmosphere. MPL's long-range capabilities and high quality signal increase efficiency and accuracy of the data capture process for improved atmospheric mapping.
