Subject: | NIM/MWRP/M1 - Sun in radiometer's field of view |
DataStreams: | nimmwrpM1.b1
|
Description: | Around noon local time every day there is a spike in the brightness temperature data. This
is due to the sun being in the field of view of the radiometer. PWV and LWP are affected
as a consequence |
Suggestions: | Data are only affected for a short time around the local noon. Disregard the affected data. |
Measurements: | nimmwrpM1.b1: - Expected root-mean-square error in precipitable water retrieval(totalPrecipitableWaterRmsError)
- Total precipitable water vapor, from microwave radiometer(totalPrecipitableWater)
- Retrieved liquid water path(liquidWaterPath)
- Retrieved cloud liquid water content(liquidWaterContent)
- Retrieved liquid water path using only 23.835 and 30.0 GHz(liquidWaterPath2)
- Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)
- Expected root-mean-square error in precipitable water retrieval using only
23.835 and 30.0 GHz(totalPrecipitableWater2RmsError) - Expected root-mean-square error in liquid water path retrieval using only 23.835
and 30.0 GHz(liquidWaterPath2RmsError) - Zenith-pointing infrared temperature at 10um(infraredTemperature)
