Abstract

We conduct an analysis of simultaneous measurements of microwave profiler RPGH-HATPRO and radiosonde which were obtained during 2013-2018 observation period. Using microwave data, we quantify the cloudiness of the conditions. We consider two datasets depending on cloudiness: moderate clouds and clear sky. The latter subset of the former. We investigate means and standard deviations of the difference between the temperature profiles retrieved from microwave data and radiosonde profiles. The seasonal means are at least two times the amplitude of whole dataset means. We discuss the reasons for observed behavior.
