Subject:
SGP/MWR/B6 - Incorrect rain flag
DataStreams:sgpmwrtipB6.a1, sgpmwrlosB6.b1
Description:
The rain flag indicator is coming up too often. On 9/11 the SGP technicians checked and 
adjusted the rain sensor sensitivity. The operation seemed successful, bu on 9/18 the flag 
indicator came back up and stayed on too much since.
Suggestions: 
Disregard the "wet_window" variable in the netcdf file, a brightness temperature 

threshold of 100 K can be set to filter out data during rain events.
