Description |
Status |
|
1
|
Time field is bad but can probably be inferred from the previous good time
|
|
|
2
|
Time field is bad and cannot be inferred from the previous good time
|
|
|
3
|
This record starts a sequence that is inconsistent with previous times (i.e. there is a time discontinuity). This may or may not be associated with a spacecraft clock update (see scan line status flags for ATOVS)
|
|
|
4
|
Start of a sequence that apparently repeats scan times that have been previously accepted
|
|
|
5
|
Scan line was not calibrated because of bad time
|
|
|
6
|
Scan line was calibrated using fewer than the preferred number of scan lines because of proximity to start or end of data or to a data gap
|
|
|
7
|
Scan line was not calibrated because of bad or insufficient PRT data
|
|
|
8
|
Scan line was calibrated but with marginal PRT data
|
|
|
9
|
Some uncalibrated channels on this scan
|
|
|
10
|
Uncalibrated due to instrument mode
|
|
|
11
|
Questionable calibration because of antenna position error of space view
|
|
|
12
|
Questionable calibration because of antenna position error of black body
|
|
|
13
|
Not Earth located because of bad time
|
|
|
14
|
Earth location questionable because of questionable time code (see time problem code bits)
|
|
|
15
|
Earth location questionable - only marginal agreement with reasonableness check
|
|
|
16
|
Earth location questionable - fails reasonableness check
|
|
|
17
|
Earth location questionable because of antenna position check
|
|
|
18
|
Scan line calibration cold black body
|
|
|
19
|
Scan line calibration warm black body
|
|
|
20
