MP-3000A
Microwave
Profiling Radiometer
Continuous Atmospheric Profiling. Anytime. Anywhere.
OVERVIEW
Atmospheric Intelligence When It Matters Most
The MP-3000A is a high-performance microwave radiometer designed to provide continuous, high-resolution measurements of the lower atmosphere. Trusted by organizations in aviation, weather forecasting, research, defense, wind energy, and environmental monitoring, it delivers the reliable atmospheric data needed for informed decision-making.
By providing accurate, real-time atmospheric intelligence, the MP-3000A helps users anticipate changing weather conditions, improve operational efficiency, and make critical decisions with confidence before weather impacts operations.
Why Choose the MP-3000A?
Continuous Atmospheric Profiling
Measure temperature, humidity, water vapor, and cloud liquid water from the surface to 10 km above ground level—continuously, day and night.
Whether monitoring evolving severe weather, forecasting fog, optimizing wind energy production, or supporting aviation operations, the MP-3000A provides the vertical atmospheric information that conventional surface observations simply cannot
Automatic Calibration
The MP-3000A features Radiometrics’ proprietary Auto-Calibration technology that continuously verifies instrument calibration with every measurement.
Benefits include:
- Significantly reduces the need for regular liquid nitrogen calibrations, virtually eliminating them.
- Eliminates routine manual TIP calibrations
- Maximizes instrument uptime
- Reduces maintenance costs
- Provides confidence in every observation
Accurate When Weather Matters Most
Radiometrics’ proprietary Rain Effect Mitigation technology enables reliable atmospheric retrievals during cloudy and precipitating conditions, allowing critical environmental monitoring to continue when other observing systems become increasingly challenged.
From polar research stations to tropical weather networks, the MP-3000A has been field-proven across some of the world’s most demanding climates. Our advanced Superblower technology keeps the radome free of rain, snow, ice, and condensation, enabling uninterrupted operation and dependable data collection in virtually any weather conditions.
Intelligent Retrieval Algorithms
Advanced neural network retrieval algorithms convert raw microwave observations into highly accurate atmospheric profiles. Additionally, we configure each instrument to provide exceptional performance across a wide range of climates. Therefore, customers can confidently deploy their MP-3000A virtually anywhere in the world.
Built Around Your Mission
Frequency agility across both the K-Band (22–30 GHz) and V-Band (51–59 GHz) allows each MP-3000A to be configured to meet the unique requirements of your application.
See the Entire Sky
Optional 360° azimuth scanning provides full-sky atmospheric observations beyond traditional vertical profiling. Consequently, this capability greatly expands your applications to include:
- Boundary layer research
- Convective initiation monitoring
- Wind energy optimization
- Air quality studies
- Aviation weather support
Groundbreaking Operational & Visualization Software
Every MP-3000A includes VizMet-Pro 4 software. This platform gives operators complete control of the instrument while providing real-time atmospheric visualization.
Features Include:
- Live Skew-T diagrams
- Time-height contour plots
- Stability indices
- Clear atmospheric profile displays
- Instant instrument diagnostics
- Continuous data quality monitoring
- Exportable meteorological products
- Windows- and Linux-compatible
Ultimately, this software provides everything you need to transform raw observations into actionable atmospheric intelligence.
Designed for Easy Deployment
The MP-3000A weighs less than 50 kg (110 lb). Because it is so lightweight, transportation and installation remain straightforward for both permanent and mobile deployments. Furthermore, its rugged housing ensures continuous, reliable operation in demanding environments worldwide.
