Subject: | MAO/MET/M1 - Optical rain gauge performance problems |
DataStreams: | maometM1.b1 |
Description: | Condensation inside the optical rain gauge lenses caused false precipitation to be recorded. Sensor replacements also showed signs of false precipitation. User discretion advised. |
Suggestions: | Verify with present weather detector data (pwd_pw_code_inst) that precipitation is reported. If a precipitation event is occurring, rain intensity data from the maoaosmetS1.a1 data stream can be used for comparison (present weather detector rain rates are not as reliable). |
