-TOPHAT is a passive microwave radiometer installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich as part of JOYCE. It measures brightness temperatures at 7 channels along the slope of the water vapor absorption line at 22 GHz and at 7 channels along the slope of the oxygen absorption complex at 60 GHz with allow the retreival of integrated water vapor (IWV),  +**TOPHAT** is a [[instruments:hatpro:hatpro|HATPRO]] passive microwave radiometer installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich as part of [[sites:joyce|JOYCE]].

-cloud liquid water path (LWP) as well as tropospheric temperature profiles. Zenith measurements alternate with rhi and ppi scans. Scan patterns are partially synchronized with the neighbouring cloud radar MIRA. Additionally, regular elevation scans within provide high-quality temperature profiles in the boundary layer. Attached to the side, it also includes two broadband infrared pyrometers, sensitive to water vapor, low-LWP (< 50 gm<sup>-2</sup>) liquid clouds as well as ice clouds.+cloud liquid water path (LWP) as well as tropospheric temperature profiles.
