Subject:
NSA/SONDE/C1 - Increased precision for alt, dp, pres, rh, tdry
DataStreams:nsasondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The output precision of the following variables was increased 20060929:

   alt	changed from 1m to 0.1m
   dp	changed from 0.1degC to 0.01degC
   pres changed from 0.1 hPa to 0.01 hPa
   RH	changed from 1%RH to 0.01%RH
   tdry changed from .1degC to 0.01degC

Note that the increase in precision does not necessarily imply an increase
in accuracy.  Users are cautioned to continue to use their best scientific
judgement when using these or any other data.
Measurements:nsasondewnpnC1.b1:
  • alt
  • Dry Bulb Temperature(tdry)
  • Dewpoint Temperature(dp)
  • Pressure, atmospheric, constant value of model level, RUC model output(pres)
  • Humidity, relative(rh)

Subject:
NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: 6-channel retrieval replaced by 5-channel retrieval
DataStreams:nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:
Due to repeated failure of the V-band receiver and calibration problems, the 6-channel 
retrieval was retired and a new 5-channel retrieval which uses only the K-band channels was 
implemented.

All data previously processed with the 6-channel retrieval have been reprocessed.

Please note that the 7 channels (brightness temperatures) in the V-band range (51 to 60 
GHz) should not be used.  See D080331.1 and D080331.2.
Measurements:nsamwrpC1.b1:
  • Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)
  • Liquid water path, from brightness temperatures using statistical retrieval(liquidWaterPath)
  • Liquid water path, from Tbright at 23.835 and 30.0 GHz only, using stat. retrvl.(liquidWaterPath2)
