Subject:
SGP/MWR/C1 - Increased noise in 31.4 GHz channel
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
The 31.4 GHz channel has been showing an increased level of noise which results in 
increased noise in the LWP retrievals. The instrument is tipping and all other parameters seem 
to be in the range. The elevate noise started in May, but it seems to have become slightly 
worse after summer. After November the noise level seems to have gone back to normal.
Measurements:sgpmwrtipC1.a1:
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky31tip)
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)

sgpmwrlosC1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature at 31.4 GHz(tbsky31)
  • Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)

Subject:
SGP/AOS/C1 - Pump failure and subsequent failure of humidified nephelometer
DataStreams:sgpaosC1.a1
Description:
The pump for the aerosol sampling system failed over a weekend. The humidifier continued 
to operate and soaked the inside of both the reference and wet nephelometers. The 
nephelometers were returned for repair. A replacement neph was installed on 2008-August 5 @1858 
UTC. The nephs were repaired and returned to SGP in December 2008. The humidification 
system was rebuilt and installed on 2009 January 6 at 1912 UTC.
