Subject: | TWP/MPL/C2 - Sun-shade dropping during daytime |
DataStreams: | twpmplsmask1clothC2.c1, twpmplC2.00, twpmplC2.a1, twpmplcmask1clothC2.c1 |
Description: | The MPL sunshade began to act erratically on 9/15/2003 dropping frequently throughout day and night. To reduce data loss, the sunshade was restrained from blocking the MPL during the night. Thus, cloud detection during the night is satisfactory, but daytime measurements are frequently interspersed with episodes of beam-block. |
Suggestions: | If available, use ARSCL for cloud detection. If ARSCL is unavailable, use the VCeil for low clouds or MMCR data for all others. |
