Subject: NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 1262)
Affected Datastreams: nsamwrpC1.b1
Description See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150309. Original DQR category: 4 (Red, Incorrect). ----------------------------------------------------------- The instrument appears to be unstable and the brightness temperatures are too warm. This affects the retrievals as well. The temperature dependence of the calibration coefficients has slightly changed.
