Abstract
Two collocated millimeter-wave radiometers were operated at the Platte ville, Colorado, site from January through March 1994. These radiomete rs are identical, with the exception that one radiometer uses a spinni ng flat reflector, while the other one uses a fixed flat reflector, Th e spinning reflector was designed to shed precipitation particles, thu s improving the radiometer's performance during precipitating conditio ns.
