Subject: | MAO/CSPHOT/M1 - No post-deployment calibration |
DataStreams: | maocsphotaotM1.a1, maocsphotM1.00, maocsphotaotfiltM1.a1, maocsphotppM1.a1, maocsphotalmM1.a1 |
Description: | The instrument deployed during this period was lost on the way back to the US. Therefore, it could not be recalibrate as is customary. The differences between pre- and post-deployment calibrations for such a short deployment are typically quite small, 1%. But occasionally there are dramatic shifts that we now won't know about. |
Suggestions: | Be wary. Negative aerosol optical depth or cosine solar zenith angle dependence typically indicates a shift in calibration from the pre-deployment data. |
