Subject:
FKB/MWRHF/M1 - Dew formation on window
DataStreams:fkbmwrhfM1.b1
Description:
During night time, when the humidity is very high (RH ~ 100%) data are strongly affected 
by dew formation on the window. 
This results in a smooth and large (80-150 K) increase of the brightness temperature from 
early night to sunrise. Data are affected mostly at night.
Measurements:fkbmwrhfM1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature (90 GHz)(tbsky90)
  • Sky brightness temperature (150 GHz)(tbsky150)

FKB/MWRHF/M1 - Reprocess: Surface Relative Humidity too low
DataStreams:fkbmwrhfM1.b1
Description:
The surface relative humidity readings are too low when compared with the MWRP and the 
tower sensor.
Measurements:fkbmwrhfM1.b1:
  • Relative humidity inside the instrument enclosure(rh)

Subject:
FKB/MWRHF/M1 - Questionable calibration
DataStreams:fkbmwrhfM1.b1
Description:
The instrument completed a tip curve calibration on June 30 and it did not calibrate again 
until Oct 13. Data during this time display large residuals (~ 6 K) when compared with 
model computations. It is likely that the tip curve calibration, although successful, 
wasn't good enough to have good accuracy.

Since this instrument is still under testing the users should use the data with caution. 
Although the accuracy of the model itself is still debated, large residuals between the 
measurements and the model between June and October are probably in large part due to the 
poor calibration.
Measurements:fkbmwrhfM1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature (90 GHz)(tbsky90)
  • Sky brightness temperature (150 GHz)(tbsky150)
