Subject:
PYE/MWR/M1 - tipping angles
DataStreams:pyemwrtipM1.a1
Description:
Obstacles above the horizon were in the field of view of the MWR at the lowest tipping 
elevation angle of 19.5 degrees. The AOS stack to the north and trees to the south affected 
the tip scan measurements at 3 airmasses. This problem was corrected by removing 
observations at the lowest angle from the MWR tip configuration.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:pyemwrtipM1.a1:
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky31tip)
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky23tip)
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)
  • Temperature correction coefficient at 23.8 GHz(tc23)
  • Noise injection temp at nominal temperature at 31.4 GHz(tnd_nom31)
  • Temperature correction coefficient at 31.4 GHz(tc31)
  • Noise injection temp at nominal temperature at 23.8 GHz(tnd_nom23)
  • Total water vapor along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(vaptip)
