DataStreams:nsamwrlosC2.b1
Description:
The MWR became thermally unstable during periods when the ambient temperature exceeded 
about 28C. This situation was corrected when the mixer temperature was manually increased to 
about 35C.

Data are suspect when the blackbody temperature, tkbb, exceeds 296 K.
