Subject: | NIM/MWRP/M1 - Instrument noise problem |
DataStreams: | nimmwrpM1.00, nimmwrprawM1.00, nimmwrpM1.b1 |
Description: | There are spikes and elevated noise in MWRP data. The origine of the spikes is RF interference from various sources. All brightness temperatures are affected, but in particular the 5 K-band channels. LWP retrievals are noisy and affected by spikes as a result. |
Suggestions: | Spikes are frequent and irregular. The minor spikes can be dealt with by averaging the data. Some stronger interference may be diffucult to filter, but should affect the data only for very limited time intervals. We suggest averaging the data ( a few minutes) before using. |
