Abstract

A brief description of the method of ground-based microwave radiometry for determining the characteristics of atmospheric moisture content is given. The results of experimental studies of total precipitable water and cloud liquid water content using ground-based microwave radiometers, in particular, during the development of severe weather events associated with the development of convective clouds, thunderstorm processes are reported. The capabilities of microwave radiometry in improving the diagnosis of synoptic and mesoscale structure of atmospheric fronts are discussed. The prospects for using radiophysical facilities of the Mozhaisky Military Space Academy Geophysical Observatory for experimental studies of the atmosphere, clouds, and precipitation in the Leningrad region, which are aimed at improving methods for forecasting severe weather events associated with the development of convective clouds, thunderstorms, and precipitation, are considered.
