Subject:
NSA/MWRRET/C1 - Sonde input processing issue
DataStreams:nsamwrret1liljclouC1.c1
Description:
There was a data processing issue with the nsasondewnpnC1.b1 datastream during these 
periods.  As a result, the nsamwrret1liljclouC1.c1 files were sometimes processed without any 
sonde data available as an input to the VAP.  The physical retrievals, phys_lwp and 
phys_pwv, require sounding data and were not calculated for these files.  This also means that 
the be_lwp and be_pwv from these files only contain values from stat2_lwp and stat2_pwv.
Suggestions: 
null
Measurements:nsamwrret1liljclouC1.c1:
  • 1-sigma uncertainty in precipitable water vapor retrieved using a
    physical/iterative approach(phys_pwv_uncertainty)
  • Number of iterations needed by the physical retrieval for convergence(phys_niter)
  • Cloud liquid water path retrieved using a physical/iterative approach(phys_lwp)
  • Root mean square difference between the computed and observed brightness
    temperatures for the last iteration(phys_rms)
  • Convergence value for the physical retrieval(phys_converge)
  • 1-sigma uncertainty in cloud liquid water path retrieved using a
    physical/iterative approach(phys_lwp_uncertainty)
  • Precipitable water vapor retrieved using a physical/iterative approach(phys_pwv)
