Subject: | HFE/MWR/M1 - Insufficient calibration stability |
DataStreams: | hfemwrlosM1.b1, hfemwrtipM1.a1 |
Description: | The noise diode temperature suddenly jumped to > 60 C after a power outage. Following additional power problems the noise diode injection temperature drifted fast and the radiometer was not able to calibrate properly. Data during the indicated time periods are poorly calibrated and sometimes erratic. Users should be aware that the accuracy of the measurements is dramatically degraded. Users can use the microwave profiler (MWRP) data to supplement the MWR data. |

Subject: | HFE/MWRHF/M1 - 150-GHz data drop out |
DataStreams: | hfemwrhfM1.b1 |
Description: | The sky brightness temperature at 150 GHz (tbsky150) dropped to zero at 12:29 GMT on 20080804 and stayed flat lined until 23:40 GMT on 20081002. |

Subject: | HFE/MWRHF/M1 - Calibration updates |
DataStreams: | hfemwrhfM1.b1 |
Description: | The MWRHF calibration algorithm updates the calibration parameters every time a new successful tip curve is acquired. This results in small jumps (1-2 K) in the brightness temperatures each time calibration is updated. During times of frequent calibrations the data appear discontinuous with short data segments interrupted by small jumps. |

Subject: | HFE/MWRP/M1 - Reprocess: Bias in LWP retrievals |
DataStreams: | hfemwrpM1.b1 |
Description: | Since local radiosondes were not available, radiosondes from a different site were used to develop retrieval coefficients. LWP retrievals are biased in the summer months (June-September). Data in May and December are not affected. Additional analysis will be conducted to derive new retrieval coefficients and the data will be reprocessed. |
