Data Evalutation
During the Dec 98 DFRC flights of the MAS instrument, channels 49 and 50 where accidentally transposed. This problem was not discovered until after the MAS instrument was returned to the Ames Research Center in early March, 1999 from TRMM-LBA deployment in Brazil. Therefore, bands are out of order, but the correct calilbration files have been applied. In essence, data users will see "channel 50 data" in the channel 49 position, and visa versa.
