Subject:
SBS/MWR/S1 - Interference spikes
DataStreams:sbsmwrlosS1.b1, sbsmwrtipS1.a1
Description:
Interference spikes appear in the data affecting mostly the 23.8 GHz channel and to a 
lesser extend the 30 GHz channel. Some days are more affected than others. The number of 
spikes varies between 1 and ~ 5 per day.  The data are mostly unaffected except for the short 
time interval during which the interference takes place (usually one or two data points).
Suggestions: 
Filter out interference spikes
Measurements:sbsmwrtipS1.a1:
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky23tip)
  • Total water vapor along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(vaptip)
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky31tip)
  • 23.8 GHz sky signal(tipsky23)
  • 31.4 GHz sky signal(tipsky31)
