NSA/MWRP/C1 - Incorrect or missing data

The MWRP had a problem with the ambient temperature sensor situated in the blower 
assembly. This caused corrupted data files and software crashes. The blower assembly was removed, 
sent to the vendor for repair on 9/22, and re-installed on 10/12.

NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: K-Band calibration drift

At the beginning of November, the K-band channel calibration started to drift. The MWRP 
brightness temperatures were about 1.5 K higher than the MWR-measured brightness 
temperatures. By the half of the month the differences were more than 2 K to become about 4 K by 
the end of November. On Nov 27 new calibration coefficients were derived and uploaded.

Data for 20061101-20061127 have been reprocessed with the revised calibrations and are 
available from the ARM Archive effective January 2007.
