COMMENT: 20191102_stare45: continues measurements at 45

COMMENT: scan 20 to 60 degree incidence angle

Start of Event: PS122/1_5-76
COMMENT: scan 20 to 60 degree incidence angle

End of Event: PS122/1_5-76
COMMENT: scan 20 to 60 degree incidence angle

COMMENT: continuous measurement at 45 degree incidence angle

COMMENT: start constant stare measurement at 45 degree; end of 45° stare measurement

COMMENT: scan 30°-60°

COMMENT: stare measurement at 45°; stare measurement at 45° end

Start of Event: PS122/1_6-128
COMMENT: stare measurement at 45°; stare measurement at 45° end

End of Event: PS122/1_6-128
COMMENT: stare measurement at 45°; stare measurement at 45° end

COMMENT: scan 30 to 60 degrees, 5 degree steps

Start of Event: PS122/1_7-1
COMMENT: scan 30 to 60 degrees, 5 degree steps

End of Event: PS122/1_7-1
COMMENT: scan 30 to 60 degrees, 5 degree steps

COMMENT: stare measurements at 45 degree; From the data file it looks like only data from this date onward was recorded. It also indicates an incidence angle of 55° (instead of 45°).; end of stare measurements at 45°

LOCATION: Arctic Ocean
COMMENT: Recording continued from Leg 1

LOCATION: Arctic Ocean
COMMENT: Redeployed instrument after trouble shooting. 37GHz channel failed but 19 and 89 GHz continue to provide data

LOCATION: Arctic Ocean
COMMENT: moved to second year ice floe ; scan started at 11:20 UTC

COMMENT: hairdryer experiement; rs site 3: deployed

COMMENT: continued measurement from leg 2

COMMENT: Start continuously scanning at RS site. Elevation from 40° to 120° in 5° steps.; Stopped recording for calibration; Calibration 19 GHz with low frequency absorber Elevation 0° Temperature absorber: -3.6°C 10:41:15 to 10:43:15; Calibration 89 GHz with MT24 high frequency absorber Elevation 0° Temperature absorber: -3.4°C 10:46:35 to 10:48:35; Sky calibration 120° to 180° elevation end 11:00; Start of scan with elevation 40° to 60° and delta=5°.; End of scan for data download.; Start of measurements with constant elevation angle of 55°. Was planned as scan measurement. Not clear why scan did not start.; Recording stopped. Could be due to power outage but not clear.; restart scan after power outage. elevation 40° to 70°; delta 5°; End of recording due to power outage.; restart scan measurements 40° to 70° after power outage.; End of measurements during MOSAiC leg 5. For unknown reasons no photos were recorded. Radiometer data looks okay.
