| Subject: | NSA/MWR/C2 - Frosting/Condensation |
| DataStreams: | nsamwrtipC2.a1, nsamwrlosC2.b1, nsamwrC2.00 |
| Description: | Doug reported freezing winds and ice accumulation on the MWR cover and radome. This may affect data quality and calibration. On 2/24 Doug attempted to slowly thaw the cover and clear the window. From 2/22 to 2/24 the LWP and PWV reported by the MWR are near zero. These data are probably affected by the frost accumulated on the radiometer window. |
| Suggestions: | Since we don't have radiosonde at this site, it is difficult do assess the extent of the data corruption. I would suggest avoiding the use of the data between 2/22 and 2/24. |
