Subject:
SGP/MWR/E14 - Bias in 23.8-GHz measurements
DataStreams:sgpmwrtipE14.a1, sgpmwrlosE14.b1
Description:
Since the instrument was returned after a power supply failure the 23.8-GHz channel is 
constantly 3 K higher than the other co-located radiometer (C1). Since the instrument was 
just returned after extensive refurbishing at the manufacturer the cause of the bias is not 
clear.
Suggestions: 
The bias in the measurements causes a positive bias in the PWV of ~ 2.5 mm. This bias 

should be kept into consideration when using these data.
