Subject:
NIM/MWRP/M1 - Reprocessed: K-band calibration drift corrected
DataStreams:nimmwrpM1.b1
Description:
During October and November there was a drift in the K-Band calibration of the MWRP. This 
resulted in brightness temperatures that were too high.

New calibration coefficients were derived from the median value of the noise diode 
temperature for the months of October and November and the data were reprocessed to apply the 
corrected calibrations.  The reprocessed data were archived in January 2007.
Suggestions: 
Retrieve the reprocessed data for use in your analysis.
