Data Evaluation
Overall quality is good
The Minco Heater ouput was insufficient to counter the extremely cold ambient air temperatures.
Port 3 (bands 26-41; 3.04-5.44µm) remains noisy, but it's performance remains stable and is much improved over first several flights in this campaign.
Blackbody temperatures spiked occasionally
