Subject: | SGP/CEIL/B5 - Noisy Backscatter |
DataStreams: | sgpceilB5.b1 |
Description: | Since October of 2004, the noise in the backscatter plots occasionally become high in amplitude for periods of time lasting anywhere from an hour or so to as much as a day. This problem appears similar to a dirty window (such as the problem at B6 last week), but the fact that the plots show high amplitude for short durations of time imply that this problem is different. Cloud base height detection appears to be unaffected. |
Suggestions: | Cloud detection not seriously impacted. |
