SGP/KAZR/C1 - Background shifts
DataStreams:sgpkazrgeC1.a1
Description:
The cross-pol/co-pol plot showed a pulse type issue, as if radar was switching modes, or 
there were intermittent voltage differences.  It is believed that the issue was due to the 
TWTA waveguide pressurization system.  However, the issue self-rectified before a cause 
could be definitively identified.

Description:
See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150626.  Original 
DQR category: 4 (Red, Incorrect).

The wrong calibrations were used due to a problem with the software. Mentor discovered the 
reflectivity between long and short pulse did not agree with each other after analyzing 
data. Data will be reprocessed.
