Abstract
Water vapor radiometer measurements were made at DSS 43 during an 15-month period. Brightness temperatures at 31 GHz were subjected to a statistical analysis which included correction for the effects of occasional water on the radiometer radome. An exceedance plot has been constructed, and the 1 percent exceedance statistic occurs at 120 K. The 5 percent exceedance statistic occurs at 70 K, compared with 75 K in Spain. These values are valid for all of the three-month data groupings that were studied.
