| Description: | On May 28 1:30 GMT the NFOV radiometer was placed in the field of view of the MWR tip
calibration. Almost immediately calibration of the MWR was compromised resulting in incorrect
brightness temperatures and overestimation of both PWV and LWP.
On July 15 the NFOV radiometer was moved away from the MWR and the instantaneous
calibration values jumped back to normal. The median values returned to normal on July 17 around
2100.
The LOS data were reprocessed using interpolated values for the calibration coefficients.
The reprocessed data are available from the ARM Archive effective December 7, 2005.
NOTE: the format of the reprocessed data are slightly different than the format of the
original data and the data available before and after the reprocessed data period. The
quality of the data are not affected, just the format.
The MWRTIP data can not be reprocessed and should be used with caution. |
