Popis: MWI (Micro Wave Imager) is one of the sensors of MetOp Second Generation Sat-B devoted to observe clouds and precipitations, water vapor and temperature gross profiles.MWI will provide global microwave imaging data useful to retrieve information on precipitating and non-precipitating liquid and frozen hydrometeors and relevant surface characteristics (e.g. windspeed over ocean and sea-ice coverage). The present paper will give an overview of the instrument design and will report on the status of the development and verification.
