Subject: | NIM/SKYRAD/M1 - IRTs do not agree with AERI |
DataStreams: | nimskyrad60sM1.b1 |
Description: | Since deployment at PYE, and then at NIM, the AMF SKYRAD IRT measured about 10K higher sky temperatures than the AERI and the MWRP IRT measureed about 20K higher than the AERI. Several actions were taken to diagnose the problem including confirming the correct configuration of the IRTs and data logger, cleaning the mirror and lens, and replacing the mirror. After several days of rain beginning 6/2/2006, the three instruments came into agreement. It is unknown whether this was a problem with the AERI, MWRP-IRT or SKYRAD-IRT. |

Subject: | NIM/MWR/M1 - Instrument noise problem/RF interference |
DataStreams: | nimmwrM1.00, nimmwrlosM1.b1, nimmwrtipM1.a1 |
Description: | Data are affected by intermittent spikes that become more frequent starting in March 2006. Spikes affect data mostly around 9 AM and 18:00 PM. The origin of the spikes is probably RF interference. |

Subject: | NIM/MWR/M1 - Reprocessed: Recalibration to correct for occasional overheating. |
DataStreams: | nimmwrlosM1.b1, nimmwrtipM1.a1 |
Description: | The radiometer was intermittently thermally unstable resulting in poor calibrations for four brief time periods. These data have been reprocessed to apply corrected calibrations. The affected time periods were: 20060302-20060303 20060423-20060425 20060512-20060515 20060531-20060603 |

Subject: | NIM/MWR/M1 - Sun in field of view of radiometer |
DataStreams: | nimmwrlosM1.b1 |
Description: | Around 12 pm every day between 8/1 and 8/31 there is an increase in the brightness temperature due to the sun being in the field of view of the radiometer. |
