Subject:
GRW/MWRP/M1 - Temp/RH sensor failure
DataStreams:grwmwrpM1.b1
Description:
The temperature and humidity sensor failed causing software crashes and poor retrieval 
quality.

Surface temperature and humidity are incorrect and the bad temperature readings affected 
the retrievals. Users should completely disregard retrievals from this instrument.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:grwmwrpM1.b1:
  • Level of free convection(levelFreeConvection)
  • Derived relative humidity(relativeHumidity)
  • Retrieved liquid water path using only 23.835 and 30.0 GHz(liquidWaterPath2)
  • Interpolated water vapor mixing ratio(waterVaporMixingRatio)
  • Lifting condensation level pressure(liftingCondensationLevelPres)
  • Total precipitable water vapor, from microwave radiometer(totalPrecipitableWater)
  • Lifting condensation level(liftingCondensationLevel)
  • Derived virtual temperature(virtualTemperature)
  • Interpolated dewpoint temperature(dewpointTemperature)
  • Temperature used for calculation(temperature)
  • Retrieved cloud liquid water content(liquidWaterContent)
  • Retrieved total precipitable water vapor using only 23.835 and 30.0 GHz(totalPrecipitableWater2)
  • Retrieved liquid water path(liquidWaterPath)
  • Retrieved water vapor density(waterVaporDensity)
  • Level of free convection pressure(levelFreeConvectionPres)
