cops_supr_mwrad_tbzeni_d: brightness temperatures in zenith direction from radiometer run by University Salford

Collier, Chris; Davies, Fay

Dataset
Summary
Brightness temperature is measured with the radiometer using six elevation angles. In this dataset, only the fixed zenith direction is stored.
The measurements are made every hour at approximately 40 minutes passed the hour. Data started at 14:48 UTC on 13/06/07 and ended 17:00 UTC on 15/08/07.

Description
Data until 26/07/07 at 09:09 UTC was contaminated by moisture (rain and dew) present on the external cover due to the failure of the dew blower. After this time moisture was removed periodically by hand.
