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)
  • Expected root-mean-square error in liquid water content retrieval(liquidWaterContentRmsError)
  • Expected root-mean-square error in liquid water path retrieval(liquidWaterPathRmsError)
  • Retrieved total precipitable water vapor using only 23.835 and 30.0 GHz(totalPrecipitableWater2)
