Subject: | TMP/MWACR/M1 - Snow Buildup |
DataStreams: | tmpmwacrM1.a1 |
Description: | There was potentially a build up of snow on the instrument causing large differences in the reflectivity as compared with the KAZR. |

Subject: | TMP/MWR/M1 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 1250) |
DataStreams: | tmpmwrlosM1.b1 |
Description: | See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150607. Original DQR category:4 (Red, Incorrect). ----------------------------------------------------------- The radiometer was operating with the old calibration coefficients until it had enough tip curves to update the calibration. Brightness temperatures are about 3 K lower than expected. |

Subject: | TMP/MWACR/M1 - Possible antenna offset from zenith |
DataStreams: | tmpmwacrM1.a1 |
Description: | A preliminary analysis of vertically-pointing Doppler velocity from all four radars at the site (KAZR, MWACR, KaSACR and XSACR) suggests that MWACR may have a systematic velocity bias. The bias appears to depend on height and wind profile, suggesting it could be caused by mispointing of the MWACR. A more detailed study of the radars plus sounding information indicates the MWACR is mispointed by approximately 1 degree from zenith, into azimuth direction of 75 degrees from North. |
