Surface brightness temperatures measured by the HATPRO microwave radiometer onboard the RV Polarstern during the ATWAICE expedition PS144 to the Arctic in summer 2022

<p>The data set contains daily files of raw microwave radiation measurements by the HATPRO microwave radiometer (see Rose et al., 2015) onboard about 22 m height at the top deck (starboard) of RV Polarstern during cruise PS131 (ATWAICE expedition, see Kanzow, 2023). Via a mirror construction the radiometers were observing the surface at a viewing angle of about 53&deg; off-nadir for 15 min each hour. The actual viewing angle could vary by a few degree because of ship motion. The data covers the range July 11, 2022 to August 11, 2022. The radiation measurements are given as brightness temperatures in seven K band channels (22.24 - 31.4 GHz), vertical polarization, and seven V band (51.26 - 58 GHz) channels, horizontal polarization.&nbsp;</p> <p>Version 2 of the uploaded data is quality-controlled (see the flag variable).</p>
