The ADvanced MIcrowave RAdiometer for Rain Identification (ADMIRARI) is a passive microwave radiometer designed to measure water vapor, cloud and liquid rain water with a temporal resolution of 1 second and a spatial resolution of 5°. ADMIRARI measures brightness temperatures at 10.7, 21.0 and 36.5 GHz frequencies and along two polarized planes (H and V). The radiometer is equipped with two auxiliary active instruments: a Micro Rain Radar (MRR), which observes rain structure, and a cloud lidar, which estimates cloud base. ADMIRARI typically provides rain/cloud liquid water path (LWP) and integrated water vapor (IWV), even for low water content cases.
