Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS)

"The Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) is designed to collect information on various aspects of the Earth's atmosphere and surface, in particular, atmospheric ice, cloud cover, temperature and precipitation. It is a self-calibrating, cross-track scanning, five-channel microwave, full-power radiometer, operating in the 89 to 190 GHz region." (EUMETSAT n.d.)
