Subject:
NSA/MWR/C2 - Radiometer unstable
DataStreams:nsamwrtipC2.a1, nsamwrlosC2.b1
Description:
The radiometer had problems maintaining the thermal stabilization between 1/6 and 1/14.
Suggestions: 
Users should disregard data collected during this time, specifically LWP and PWV
Measurements:nsamwrtipC2.a1:
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip23)
  • Noise injection temp at 23.8 GHz derived from this tip(tnd23I)
  • Noise injection temp at 31.4 GHz derived from this tip(tnd31I)
  • 31.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbskytip31)
  • Mixer kinetic (physical) temperature(tkxc)
  • Noise injection temp at 31.4 GHz adjusted to tkbb(tnd31)
  • Noise injection temp at 23.8 GHz adjusted to tkbb(tnd23)
  • Total water vapor along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(vaptip)
