Subject:
NSA/MWR/C2 - Intermittent temperature instability
DataStreams:nsamwrtipC2.a1, nsamwrlosC2.b1
Description:
The instrument experienced a few instances of thermal instability during this time. The 
calibration may not be very accurate and therefore retrievals are degraded.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:nsamwrtipC2.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)
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip23)
  • 31.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip31)
more
nsamwrlosC2.b1:
  • Mean 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky31)
  • Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)
  • Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
  • Mean 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky23)
