NSA/ORG/C1 - Optical Rain Gauge incorrect at very low temperatures
DataStreams:nsaorgC1.a1, nsaorgC1.b1
Description:
The ORG reports precipitation rates that are more than 2 orders of
magnitude greater than those reported by the present weather sensor
when the temperature drops below -25 C.  Examples of this error can
be seen in the data for January 11-13, 2000, however the problem is
not isolated to these days.

A drift occurs when temps are in the range of -25 C to -40 C that
exceeds the maximum drift allowed/expected for the instrument.  The
drift is then reported as precipitation.

The manufacturer of the instrument has not yet been able to identify a
fix for the problem.

The brightness temperatures and retrieved PWV and LWP show a sudden jump and have values 
that are too high. The suddenly jump back to normal at around 1800 UTC. All other 
parameters seem reasonable so the cause of the jump may just be due to accumulation of either 
snow or melting ice on the radome.

NSA/MWR/C1 - RFI screening test
DataStreams:nsamwrlosC1.b1, nsamwrtipC1.a1
Description:
The instrument was covered with a shield to test the effect on the RF interference that is 
affecting the measurements since February. The test was performed on 4/15 and 4/16 for a 
few hours.

NSA/MWR/C1 - High noise in 23.8-GHz channel
DataStreams:nsamwrlosC1.b1, nsamwrtipC1.a1
Description:
Starting approximately on February 13 the MWR experienced high level of noise in the 23.8 
GHz channel. The spikes became more prominent around Feb 17 and increased after that date 
as well. The cause of the interference was identified as the nearby MWRP on Oct 13 and 
the instruments were realigned.
