| **HATPRO** (Humidity And Temperature PROfiler) is a passive microwave radiometer manufactured by [[https://www.radiometer-physics.de/products/microwave-remote-sensing-instruments/|Radiometer Physics GmbH]] installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich as part of [[http://cpex-lab.de/cpex-lab/EN/Home/JOYCE-CF/JOYCE-CF_node.html|JOYCE]]. It measures brightness temperatures at 7 channels along the slope of the water vapor absorption line at 22 GHz and at 7 channels along the slope of the oxygen absorption complex at 60 GHz with allow the retreival of integrated water vapor (IWV), cloud liquid water path (LWP) as well as tropospheric and humidity temperature profiles. \\ | **HATPRO** (Humidity And Temperature PROfiler) is a passive microwave radiometer manufactured by [[https://www.radiometer-physics.de/products/microwave-remote-sensing-instruments/|Radiometer Physics GmbH]] installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich as part of [[http://cpex-lab.de/cpex-lab/EN/Home/JOYCE-CF/JOYCE-CF_node.html|JOYCE]].

| Zenith measurements alternate with RHI towards the north and PPI scans at 30 degrees elevation. Scan patterns are partially synchronized with the neighbouring cloud radar. Additionally, regular elevation scans within provide high-quality temperature profiles in the boundary layer. Attached to the side, it also includes two broadband infrared pyrometers, sensitive to water vapor, low-LWP (< 50 gm<sup>-2</sup>) liquid clouds as well as ice clouds. | Zenith measurements alternate with RHI towards the north and PPI scans at 30 degrees elevation.

| | ===== Instruments at JOYCE / University of Cologne ===== |
| | |
| | Since 2010, [[tophat|TOPHAT]] is the standard HATPRO instrument at JOYCE. It is from the second generation (G2) of HATPRO microwave radiometers and was upgraded in 2016 to the latest receiver generation (G5). |
| | |
| | From 2008 to 2010, [[sunhat|SUNHAT]] was operated at JOYCE. It is a HATPRO of the first generation (built in 2005). [[foghat|FOGHAT]] is another Generation 5 radiometer and mainly used in measurement campaigns. |
