The Microwave Temperature and Humidity Profiler (MTHP) is a microwave radiometer that measures two frequency bands at 60 GHz and 183 GHz to produce vertical profiles of temperature and humidity ahead of the aircraft. The MTHP builds on over three decades of Microwave Temperature Profiler (MTP) operation at JPL, where the MTP has logged over 5500 flight hours of various aircraft.
