Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Increased precision for alt, dp, pres, rh, tdry
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The output precision of the following variables was increased 20060929:

   alt	changed from 1m to 0.1m
   dp	changed from 0.1degC to 0.01degC
   pres changed from 0.1 hPa to 0.01 hPa
   RH	changed from 1%RH to 0.01%RH
   tdry changed from .1degC to 0.01degC

Note that the increase in precision does not necessarily imply an increase
in accuracy.  Users are cautioned to continue to use their best scientific
judgement when using these or any other data.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • Dummy altitude for Zeb(alt)
  • Dry bulb temperature(tdry)
  • Surface dew point temperature(dp)
  • Retrieved pressure profile(pres)
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)

Subject:
NSA/MWRP/C1 - V-band noise diode failure
DataStreams:nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:
The V-band noise diode is showing signs of instability. Starting about August 5 the 
comparison of brightness temperatures with model showed an increased divergence resulting from 
a downward trend in the brightness temperatures of frequencies > 50 GHz.

Disregard brightness temperatures and retrieved products associated with the V-band 
channels. These include all profiles. Integrated water vapor and liquid water path are not 
affected.
Measurements:nsamwrpC1.b1:
  • Level of free convection pressure(levelFreeConvectionPres)
  • Lifting condensation level(liftingCondensationLevel)
  • Derived virtual temperature(virtualTemperature)
  • Lifting condensation level pressure(liftingCondensationLevelPres)
  • air temperature (NGM250 predicted)(temperature)
  • Level of free convection(levelFreeConvection)
  • Retrieved water vapor density(waterVaporDensity)
  • Derived relative humidity(relativeHumidity)
  • Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)
  • Interpolated water vapor mixing ratio(waterVaporMixingRatio)
  • Interpolated dewpoint temperature(dewpointTemperature)
