Subject:
GRW/MWR/M1 - Loose mirror
DataStreams:grwmwrlosM1.b1, grwmwrtipM1.a1
Description:
The data from the MWR were suspicious and became progressively worse. The problem was 
traced back to the fact that the screw that keeps the mirror in place had become loose and 
the mirror was freely rotating. 

The mirror was tightened on 6/9/2009, however the measurements were noisy until 6/16, when 
the instrument was rebooted and all the connections checked. 

Measurements between 5/1 and 6/9 should not be used. Data between 6/9 and 6/16 are usable, 
although they are very noisy.
Measurements:grwmwrtipM1.a1:
  • Total water vapor along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(vaptip)
  • 31.4 GHz blackbody(bb31)
  • 23.8 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky23tip)
  • 23.8 GHz blackbody+noise injection signal(bbn23)
  • 31.4 GHz blac2body+noise injection signal(bbn31)
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky31tip)
  • 23.8 GHz sky signal(tipsky23)
  • 23.8 GHz Blackbody signal(bb23)
  • 31.4 GHz sky signal(tipsky31)
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)

grwmwrlosM1.b1:
  • 23.8 GHz sky signal(sky23)
  • 23.8 GHz blackbody+noise injection signal(bbn23)
  • MWR column precipitable water vapor(vap)
  • 31.4 GHz blac2body+noise injection signal(bbn31)
  • Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
  • 31.4 GHz sky signal(sky31)
  • Sky brightness temperature at 31.4 GHz(tbsky31)
  • 31.4 GHz blackbody(bb31)
