SGP/MWR/B6 - incorrect flagging of data
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosB6.a1, sgpmwrlosB6.b1, sgpmwrtipB6.a1
Description:
The "wet window" flag was set high more frequent than expected (wet_window = 1 for several 
hours almost every night). This problem was corrected by the instrument mentor during a 
site visit.
Measurements:sgpmwrtipB6.a1:
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)
sgpmwrlosB6.b1:
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)
sgpmwrlosB6.a1:
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)

SGP/MWR/B6 - noisy data
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosB6.a1, sgpmwrlosB6.b1, sgpmwrtipB6.a1

The MWR exhibited occasional negative sky brightness temperatures that were resolved, 
after eliminating the instrument and communication lines as the source of the problem, by 
reformatting and reconfiguring the laptop computer.
