Subject: | ENA/KASACR/D1 - Minor data issues |

Description: | The v-channel velocity (uncorrected_mean_doppler_velocity_v) is incorrectly filled with NaNs. H-channel is correct. The receiver gain (r_calib_receiver_gain_hc and r_calib_receiver_gain_vc) is incorrect. This does not affect the data quality. The incorrect v-channel calibration constant (r_calib_radar_constant_v) is reported in the file. The correct value should be: -20.1884289 (files at the top of the hour) or -17.6669998 (files from 20 minutes after the top of the hour) Similarly, the reported signal-to-noise ratio (signal_to_noise_ratio_cross_polar_v) is calculated using the incorrect v-channel calibration constant, and is biased by a constant value of -0.1999974 The reflectivity is calculated with the correct calibration constant and is unaffected. |
Suggestions: | The h-channel velocity can be used in lieu of the v-channel velocity values. The h-channel receiver gain can be replaced with a value of 35.7807846 (files at the top of the hour) or 35.0414581 (files from 20 minutes after the top of the hour) The v-channel receiver gain can be replaced with a value of 35.2723846 (files at the top of the hour) or 34.5820503 (files from 20 minutes after the top of the hour) The v-channel calibration constant can be replaced by a value of -20.1884289 (files at the top of the hour) or -17.6669998 (files from 20 minutes after the top of the hour). The v-channel SNR can be corrected by adding 0.1999974 to the values. The h-channel velocity can be used in lieu of the v-channel velocity values.
