Subject:
NSA/MWR/C2 - Elevated sky brightness temperatures
DataStreams:nsamwrtipC2.a1, nsamwrlosC2.b1
Description:
The MWR was providing unreasonable values of sky brightness temperatures and values of 
precipitable water vapor and liquid water path that were about 10 times larger than 
expected. The problem was corrected when the instrument was power-cycled. The cause of the 
problem is unknown.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:nsamwrtipC2.a1:
  • 31.4 GHz sky signal(tipsky31)
  • 23.8 GHz sky signal(tipsky23)

nsamwrlosC2.b1:
  • Mean 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky31)
  • Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)
  • Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
  • Mean 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky23)
