Subject:
SGP/MWR/E14 - Reprocessed and Corrected:thermal instability
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosE14.b1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

During periods of high ambient temperature, the instrument was thermally unstable. The 
problem was corrected by increasing the RF deck temperature from 50 to 56 C. The data were 
reprocessed with derived calibration coefficients after the reference temperature tkmx was 
adjusted.

--- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION ---
---------------------------------------------------
During periods of high ambient temperature, the instrument may have been thermally 
unstable. The problem was corrected by increasing the RF deck temperature from 50 to 56 C.

The data will need to be reprocessed with calibration coefficients derived after the 
reference temperature, tkmx, was adjusted.
