Summary
-------

`MWRpy`_ is a Python package to process microwave radiometer (MWR) data and was developed in the framework of `ACTRIS`_
(Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure, `Laj 2024`_). MWRs are suited to gain information on
the vertical
structure of the atmosphere, especially in the lower troposphere, and profiles of temperature and humidity are
retrieved together with integrated quantities of water vapor and the cloud liquid water path (LWP). The code is an
advancement of the IDL based processing software `mwr_pro`_ and is able to handle raw data from instruments of the
manufacturer Radiometer Physics GmbH (RPG, https://www.radiometer-physics.de/). The output format, including metadata
information, variable names, and file naming of is designed to be compliant with the data structure and naming
convention developed together with the EUMETNET Profiling Programme E-PROFILE (`Rüfenacht 2021`_).
