Aqua SD m1 trends MCST delivered measured m1s counts are multiplied by m1s near term objective:...

Aqua SD m1 trends• MCST delivered measured m1s

• counts are multiplied by m1s

• near term objective: describe m1s as a function of time to extrapolate into future

• result 1 (pretty sure): beta angle dependence should be removed

• result 2 (open to discussion): pattern of different detectors suggests common reason for pattern at beginning and end of mission
