	<productDescription>The used microwave radiometer HATPRO has seven V
		band (51.8-58.8 GHz) channels that are sensitive to atmospheric
		temperature (ta). These files contain ta as a function of measurement
		time, height above ground, elevation and azimuth angle observing
		direction. The retrieved ta profile is based on multi-variate
		regression retrievals. Provided uncertainties describe the expected
		standard error of ta as a function of height above ground. Note, that
		ta values are given for all available times so that it is up to the
		user to decide whether or not to use the values if quality flags are
		set. Additionally included are temperature, pressure and humidity at
		the instrument location as well quality flags characterizing the
		instrument and retrieval performance.</productDescription>
