Subject: | SGP/MWR/B1 - thermal instability |
DataStreams: | sgpmwrlosB1.b1, sgpmwrtipB1.a1
|
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 52 C. |
Suggestions: | The data are suspect when the blackbody temperature, tkbb, exceeds 318 K. |
Measurements: | sgpmwrtipB1.a1: - Total water vapor along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(vaptip)
- Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)
- 31.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip31)
- 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip23)

sgpmwrlosB1.b1: - Mean 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky23)
- Mean 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky31)
- Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)
- Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
