Description: | At ARCS2, the MWR computer clock was not being updated because no NTP time service
software was installed on the computer. During Nauru99, on 6/24/99, the clock was found to be 3
minutes and 17 seconds fast.
Assuming that the time was properly set at installation on 10/26/98 (which is not
indicated in the installation report) and never reset until 6/24/99, the rate of time drift on
the computer was about +0.8 seconds per day. However, if the time was not reset since
integration at AIS on 1/14/98 (which is recorded in my integration notes), then the rate of
drift is about +0.4 seconds per day.
The computer was replaced and time service started on 7/30/99. |

Subject: | TWP/MWR/C3 - Intermittent Negative Sky Brightness Temperatures |
DataStreams: | twpmwrlosC3.a1, twpmwrlosC3.b1
|
Description: | Several related and recurring problems with the MWRs have been reported
dating back to 1999. These problems were due to the occurrence of
blackbody signals (in counts) that were half of those expected. The
symptoms included noisy data, spikes in the data, negative brightness
temperatures, and apparent loss of serial communication between the
computer and the radiometer, which results in a self-termination of the
MWR program.
Because these all initially appeared to be hardware-related problems,
the instrument mentor and SGP site operations personnel (1) repeatedly
cleaned and replaced the fiber optic comm. components, (2) swapped
radiometers, (3) sent radiometers back to Radiometrics for evaluation
(which did not revealed any instrument problems), and (4) reconfigured
the computer's operating system. Despite several attempts to isolate
and correct it, the problem persisted.
It became apparent that some component of the Windows98 configuration
conflicted with the DOS-based MWR program or affected the serial port
or the contents of the serial port buffer. This problem was finally
corrected by upgrading the MWR software with a new Windows-compatible
program. |

DataStreams: | twp5mwravgC2.c1, twpmwrlosC2.b1, twpqmemwrcolC2.c1
|
Description: | IN THE BEGINNING (June 1992), the retrieval coefficients used to derive the precipitable
water vapor (PWV) and liquid water path (LWP) from the MWR brightness temperatures were
based on the Liebe and Layton (1987) water vapor and oxygen absorption model and the Grant
(1957) liquid water absorption model.
Following the SHEBA experience, revised retrievals based on the more recent Rosenkranz
(1998) water vapor and oxygen absorption models and the Liebe (1991) liquid waer absorption
model were developed. The Rosenkranz water vapor absorption model resulted a 2 percent
increase in PWV relative to the earlier Liebe and Layton model. The Liebe liquid water
absorption model decreased the LWP by 10% relative to the Grant model. However, the
increased oxygen absorption caused a 0.02-0.03 mm (20-30 g/m2) reduction in LWP, which was
particularly significant for low LWP conditions (i.e. thin clouds encountered at SHEBA).
Recently, it has been shown (Liljegren, Boukabara, Cady-Pereira, and Clough, TGARS v. 43,
pp 1102-1108, 2005) that the half-width of the 22 GHz water vapor line from the HITRAN
compilation, which is 5 percent smaller than the Liebe and Dillon (1969) half-width used in
Rosenkranz (1998), provided a better fit to the microwave brightness temperature
measurements at 5 frequencies in the range 22-30 GHz, and yielded more accurate retrievals.
Accordingly, revised MWR retrieval coefficients have been developed using MONORTM, which
utilizes the HITRAN compilation for its spectroscopic parameters. These new retrievals
provide 3 percent less PWV and 2.6 percent greater LWP than the previous
retrievals based on Rosenkranz (1998).
The Rosenkranz-based retrieval coefficients became active at TWP.C2 20020427.0600. The
MONORTM-based retrieval coefficients became active at TWP.C2 20050630.2100.
Note: The TWP.C2 data for 19981028-20050630 have been reprocessed to apply the
MONORTM-based retrievals for all time. The reprocessed data were archived 20061003. |

Although the MWR data will be reprocessed to apply the new monortm-based
retrievals, for most purposes it will be sufficient to correct the data
using the following factors:
PWV_MONORTM = 0.9695 * PWV_ROSENKRANZ
LWP_MONORTM = 1.026 * LWP_ROSENKRANZ
The Rosenkranz-based retrieval coefficients was active at TWP.C3 from
inception of the data, 20020227.0151. The MONORTM-based retrieval
coefficients became active at TWP.C3 20050630.2100.
Note: a reprocessing effort is already underway to apply the
Rosenkranz-based retrieval coefficients to all MWR prior to April
2002. An additional reprocessing task will be undertaken to apply
the MONORTM retrieval to all MWR data when the first is completed.
Read reprocessing comments in the netcdf file header carefully to
ensure you are aware which retrieval is in play. |

Subject: | TWP/MWR/C1 - Software Change |
DataStreams: | twpmwrlosC1.b1
|
Description: | The MWR operating software was changed on 27 February 1999 to provide additional
functionality as described below.
NEW FEATURES
1. Faster sampling rate
Standard line-of-sight (LOS) observations can now be acquired at 15-second intervals vs.
20-second intervals previously. (The standard LOS cycle is comprised of one sky sample per
blackbody sample and gain update.)
2. More flexible sampling strategy
Multiple sky observations can be acquired during a LOS cycle, up to 1024 per gain update.
This permits sky samples to be acquired at intervals of 2.67 seconds for improved
temporal resolution of cloud liquid water variations and better coordination with the millimeter
cloud radar during IOPs.
3. Separation of zenith LOS observations from TIP data
When the radiometer is in TIP mode, the zenith LOS observations are now extracted, the PWV
and LWP computed and reported separately in the output file. This eliminates the periods
of missing LOS data during calibration checks/updates.
4. Automatic self-calibration
The software now permits the calibration to be updated at specified intervals or
continuously. In the first case, LOS mode is automatically changed to TIP mode at user-specified
intervals or whenever clear sky conditions occur, the tip data reduced, the calibration
updated, and the radiometer returned to LOS mode without operator intervention. In the
second case, the radiometer is continuously is TIP mode until changed by the operator.
5. Graphical user display
The graphical display is comprised of a status display, a message display, a temperature
plot, a plot of the retrieved PWV and LWP, and (in TIP mode) a plot of the latest tip
curves. |
