Subject: | NSA/MWR/C1 - Incorrect brightness temperatures and retrievals |
DataStreams: | nsa5mwravgC1.c1, nsamwrlosC1.b1, nsamwrtipC1.a1
|
Description: | 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. |
Measurements: | nsa5mwravgC1.c1: - Total water vapor along LOS path(vap)
- Total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
- Radiation, longwave, brightness temperature, 23.8 GHz(tbsky23)
