Subject: | SGP/MWR/B1 - occasional negative brightness temperatures |
DataStreams: | sgpmwrlosB1.a1, sgpmwrtipB1.00, sgpmwrlosB1.b1, sgpmwrtipB1.a1, sgpmwrlosB1.00 |
Description: | Occasional spikes in the MWR data were observed. Inspection of the data indicates that these are due to spikes in the gain that result from either unrealistically low values of the blackbody target temperature (~150 K) or unrealistically low values of the microwave signal counts when viewing the blackbody target. Unrealistically low values of the mixer temperature have also been observed. |
Suggestions: | The problem appears to have resolved itself. |
