SBS/MWR/S1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect retrievals
DataStreams:sbsmwrlosS1.b1, sbsmwrtipS1.a1
Description:
The water vapor and cloud liquid water retrievals were incorrect for lack of radiosondes 
to derive retrieval coefficients. 

At the end of the deployment, the mentor provided new retrieval coefficients and the 
MWRLOS data were reprocessed and archived.

The MWRTIP data have not yet been reprocessed.  The correction of these data are in the 
reprocessing queue at a low priority.

  • Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)
  • Total liquid water along LOS path(liq)

SBS/MWR/S1 - Interference spikes
DataStreams:sbsmwrlosS1.b1, sbsmwrtipS1.a1
Description:
Interference spikes appear in the data affecting mostly the 23.8 GHz channel and to a 
lesser extend the 30 GHz channel. Some days are more affected than others. The number of 
spikes varies between 1 and ~ 5 per day.  The data are mostly unaffected except for the short 
time interval during which the interference takes place (usually one or two data points).
