Developer’s Guide

MWRpy is hosted by the Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne and is used to process microwave radiometer data in the ACTRIS research infrastructure. We are happy to welcome the cloud remote sensing community to provide improvements in the methods and their implementations, writing tests and fixing bugs.
