Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C2 - IRT measurements during precipitation events |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC2.a1 |
Description: | The IRT measurement of sky/cloud temperature was in question during precipitation events because rain or snow could accumulate in the upward-pointed lens barrel. This was corrected by reorienting the IRT to measure the sky temperature as reflected by a gold mirror. |
Suggestions: | Use present weather sensor (nsapwsC2.b1) data to determine timing of precip events. |
