Subject:
NIM/MWR/M1 - Instrument noise problem/RF interference
DataStreams:nimmwrlosM1.b1
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.
Measurements:nimmwrlosM1.b1:
  • sky31
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky23)
  • Mean 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky31)
  • Water, liquid, total along line-of-sight path(liq)
  • sky23
  • Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)

Subject:
NIM/MWR/M1 - Reprocessed: Recalibration to correct for occasional overheating.
DataStreams:nimmwrlosM1.b1
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

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.
Measurements:nimmwrlosM1.b1:
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky23)
  • Mean 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature(tbsky31)
  • Water, liquid, total along line-of-sight path(liq)
