Description:
During this period, the MMCR at Darwin was cannibalized routinely to keep the Manus and 
Nauru MMCRs operational.  The largest downtime during this period was due to the 
replacement and repair of the antenna.  During attempts to "rebuild" the MMCR, data files may have 
been generated that are of no use.

TWP/MMCR/C3 - Reprocess: Calibration
DataStreams:twpmmcrcalC3.a1
Description:
The Solaris computer was changed out in late January.  The antenna parameters were not 
changed when this happened so that the SGP's antenna gain and beamwidths were used to 
calculate the radar constant.  This results in an underestimation of 4.69 dB in reflectivity.  

The difference in antenna gain is 57.2-52.73 dB or 4.47 dB.  Since the gain is squared in 
the denominator of the radar constant, this results in an error of 8.94 dB due to the 
antenna gain alone.

The difference in beamwidth is 0.19 to 0.31.  20log(.19/.31) = -4.25 dB.

Total reflectivity error = 8.94 dB - 4.25 dB = 4.69 dB

  • MMCR Reflectivity(Reflectivity)

TWP/MMCR/C3 - MMCR Power Monitor failure
DataStreams:twpmmcrcalC3.a1, twpmmcrpowC3.a1
Description:
During this period, the transmit power monitor on the TWTA was not working.  This resulted 
in the power level reading staying at a steady state (approximately 49 dBm).  Normal 
transmitter fluctuations are expected to be on the order of +/- 0.3 dBm.
