| Summary: | The WVR-1100 Microwave Radiometer (MR) located at the Environment Canada Iqaluit Station was a dual frequency radiometer operating at 23.8 GHz and 31.4 GHz. This allowed simultaneous measurements of integrated water vapor and integrated liquid water in the scan path. The STAR MR had a sampling resolution of about 1-minute, with vertical profiles ranging up to 10 km in the atmosphere. The data was automatically stored in two types of files *.los, *.sav, *.err and ND_calib.log. The *.los data file contains line of sight information, including date and time, brightness temperatures, total integrated water vapor and liquid water, phase delay, opacities, and azimuth and elevation observations. The *.sav data file contains all data collected by the instrument, including raw data files so that the user can post-process with different retrieval coefficients. The *.err file contains the radiometer fault messages, if any, that occurred during the data collection period. The ND_calib.log is a log of the calibration ... |
