Subject:
NIM/MWRP/M1 - 51.25 GHz channel calibration drifted
DataStreams:nimmwrpM1.b1
Description:
After a power outage on May 5 the 51.25 GHz had a slight change in the calibration. The 
resulting LWP computed by using all 6 channels increased of about 0.025 mm (25 g/m2).
Measurements:nimmwrpM1.b1:
  • Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)

Subject:
NIM/MWRP/M1 - Sun in radiometer's field of view
DataStreams:nimmwrpM1.b1
Description:
Around noon local time every day there is a spike in the brightness temperature data. This 
is due to the sun being in the field of view of the radiometer. PWV and LWP are affected 
as a consequence
