GRW/SONDE/M1 - Wind data missing
DataStreams:grwsondewnpnM1.b1
Description:
A GPS problem associated with Vaisala BBSS ground station software issues caused the 
ground stations to enter into an error state when using GPS wind finding. In some instances, 
the flight was aborted due to the error state and no data was collected.  A workaround was 
developed to allow sondes to be launched without collecting wind data.

Description:
Data are suspect. There is a discrepancy between the 1640 channel and the other channels. 
The discrepancy is possibly related to the intermittent obstruction (a lizard) found in 
the collimator tube. There may also be ongoing degradation of the instrument possibly 
related to the lizard activity and deposits.

GRW/MWRP/M1 - Failed LN2 calibration
DataStreams:grwmwrpM1.b1
Description:
On 4/28 we tried to perform a LN2 calibration. Because of high humidity and lack of heater 
the calibration was unsuccessful and wrong calibration coefficients were uploaded in the 
configuration file. At 14:10 UTC the old configuration file was reinstated.
Measurements:grwmwrpM1.b1:
  • Air temperature(temperature)
  • Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)
  • Water vapor, tot. precipitable, from Tbright, 23.835 & 30.0 GHz, stat. retrvl.(totalPrecipitableWater2)
  • Water vapor, total precipitable, derived from Tbright using stat. retrvl.(totalPrecipitableWater)
  • Humidity, relative, prof. from sfc.-10km, from water vap. dens. and temp. prof.(relativeHumidity)
  • 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)

GRW/MWRP/M1 - Reprocessed: Updated calibration coefficients
DataStreams:grwmwrpM1.b1
Description:
On 9/8/2010 the calibration of of the K-band channels was updated. This caused a slight 
decrease of the retrieved liquid water path. 

Updated calibrations have been applied to data from 7/1-9/8.  The LWP was decreased 
slightly as a result of the recalibration.  Reprocessed data were archived in November 2010.
Measurements:grwmwrpM1.b1:
  • Microwave brightness temperature(brightnessTemperature)
  • Water vapor, tot. precipitable, from Tbright, 23.835 & 30.0 GHz, stat. retrvl.(totalPrecipitableWater2)
