Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - V-band Noise diode unstable |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | Sometimes between Jan and March 2007 the V-band noise diode started to be unstable. V-band
channels during this period show large discrepancies with model computations. The
problem was evident during the month of January. During February and March the problem was less
visible, however measurement model comparisons show an increased bias. The instrument
was calibrated with LN2 on March 15 and the calibration results showed a large drift in the
calibration parameters. The hardware failure will have consequences in the retrievals
of temperature and relative humidity profiles.
It is difficult to establish when the failure started. Disregard the V-band channels
during this period. Vertical profiles of temperature and humidity are affected as well. Please
note that this DQR only covers the 7 channels (brightness temperatures) in the V-band

Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - V-band Noise diode failure |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | The LN2 calibration on 3/15 showed a large drift of the V-band calibration parameters. The
radiometer was calibrated again in June and was sent out for repairs in July 2007.
Between 3/15 and 7/13 2007 the V-band data are incorrect and should be disregarded. The
failure affects the retrieved vertical profiles of temperature and humidity as well.
Please note that the hardware failure affected the 7 V-band channels only (51-60 GHz).
Channels in the frequency range between 20 and 30 GHz are not affected. Integrated liquid
water (LWP) and water vapor (PWV) are not affected since they use K-band channels only. |

Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - Radiometer in mixed scanning-zenith mode |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | After installing the spare radiometer (D080409.2), the data started to be intermittent and
the software froze several times. To test if the problem was due to the scanning
procedure used with the other radiometer, the instrument was run with a zenith-only procedure at
times and with the usual scanning procedure at restart. When restarted with the scanning
procedure the software had problems, so it was decided to run the spare instrument only
with the zenith-viewing mode until our instrument comes back.
The quality of the data should be unaffected. The only difference is that only data
collected at 90 degree angle will be available until our instrument comes back. |

Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: LN2 calibration |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | On 4/9 a spare radiometer was installed at the site. On 4/18 a LN2 calibration was
conducted. Upon examination of the data it appeared that the LN2 calibration was generally
successful, however the 30-GHz channel was not calibrated properly.
New calibration coefficients for all K-band channels were derived and data for the whole
month should be reprocessed with these newly derived coefficients. I will provide the new
configuration file.
An explanation of the effects of the poor calibration is given in the Instrument Mentor
Monthly Summary report. The poor calibration affected the LWP in particular. Re-calibration
will correct the problem.

Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibration |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | The calibration of the MWRP drifted starting on September 21. The drift caused a negative
LWP. On 10/21 I modified the calibration of the 30 GHz channel in an attempt to correct
for the negative bias in LWP. The change in the calibration however caused an excessive
increase in the PWV retrievals. The original calibration values were reinstated on 10/29. I
then recomputed the temperature coefficients as well as the noise diode injection
temperature from tip curves and uploaded the new values on Nov 15 2010.
Reprocess the data from 9/21 to 11/15 with the newly computed coefficients.

Subject: | NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibration |
DataStreams: | nsamwrpC1.b1
|
Description: | The LN2 calibration was only partially successful, some the K-band channels did not
calibrate properly. On 4/25 new coefficients were derived from tip curves and were uploaded.
The data for 4/13-4/25 were reprocessed to apply the 4/25 calibrations. Reprocessed data
were archived in July 2012. |
