NSA/MWR/C1 - Reprocess: Wrong Calibration
DataStreams:nsamwrlosC1.a1, nsamwrtipC1.a1
Description:
When MWR#20 was returned to service on 4/25/02, the calibration had  significantly changed 
as a result of the repairs made by Radiometrics. I hoped that the previous calibration 
was close enough to serve as a start of the iterative self-calibration process, but I was 
wrong. After several days and very little clear sky, no valid tip curves were obtained 
and the values of vap and liq continued to be too large and unrealistic (resulting in the 
"******" for these values in the raw file). Radiometrics finally provided the calibration 
they obtained after the repair and these values were put in the configuration file on 
5/23/02. The instrument was then  able to obtain valid tip curves and derive a new calibration.
Suggestions: 
The data can be reprocessed with the correct calibration to yield valid values of vap 

and liq.
