Subject:	NSA/MWRP/C1 - Calibration temperature dependence
DataStreams:	nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:	The calibration was showing a noticeable temperature dependence that was not corrected by the calibration coefficients. Between 2/26 and 3/23 the quality of the data and of the retrievals is degraded.

Subject:	NSA/MWRP/C1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibration
DataStreams:	nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:	The LN2 calibration was only partially successful, some the K-band channels did not calibrate properly. On 4/25 new coefficients were derived from tip curves and were uploaded. The data for 4/13-4/25 were reprocessed to apply the 4/25 calibrations. Reprocessed data were archived in July 2012.
