Subject:
SGP/MWR/B1 out of calibration
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosB1.a1, sgpmwrlosB1.a0
Description:
A shift in the calibration of MWR/B1 occurred on 10 March 1998, 
apparently due to a power failure (see P980513.1). The calibration
was corrected on 19 May.
Suggestions: 
Reprocess the data with the correct calibration coefficients.
Measurements:sgpmwrlosB1.a1:
  • lon(lon)
  • Actual elevation angle(actel)
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)
  • Actual Azimuth(actaz)
  • IR Brightness Temperature(ir_temp)
  • -180.0 - +180.0(alt)
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(31tbsky)
