| - | * The new gain curves were corrected for opacity. | + | * **Please note, that Tsys and SEFD are given for zenith. For sensitivity calculations, please take the atmosphere's opacity into account!** |
| - | * Opacity correction was done with a zenith opacity of 0.06-0.08. Typical zenith opacities under good weather conditions are around 0.07 to 0.1 at 42 GHz. | + | * The data was corrected for sky opacity with observations from the WVR. Typical zenith opacities under good weather conditions are around 0.07 to 0.1 at 42 GHz. |
