SGP/MWR/B4 - power lines in field of view

On 5 March 1999, the local power company installed transmission lines north 
of BF4 at an elevation angle of about 30 degrees from the MWR, in the field 
of view of tip scans. This affected the calibration of the instrument and 
the retrieved values of precipitable water vapor and liquid water path. 
On 8 June 1999 at 1710 GMT, the MWR was remotely rotated 90 degrees so the 
instrument would scan from east to west.
This reorientation has corrected the problem.
