TWP/SMET/C1 - Reprocess: Skewed wind direction 1 data
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC1.00, twpsmet60sC1.a1, twpsmet60sC1.b1
Description:
Wind direction 1 data is incorrect. 
Manus SMET wind direction for Wind-1 (upper unit) was apparently skewed
from its original position as a result of checking direction calibration. 

As near as we can tell the position of the sensor was rotated clockwise
Somewhere in the range of 45-90 degrees, most likely in steps 22.5 degrees.

Data comparison performed on 3-2-00, using a small amount of data from 
this instrument.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC1.b1:
  • Wind #1 direction standard deviation(wind1_dir_sd)
  • Wind #1 direction vector average(wind1_dir_vec_avg)

TWP/SMET/C1 - Wind Direction alignment method
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC1.00, twpsmet60sC1.a1, twpsmet60sC1.b1
Description:
During RESET10 we discovered a problem with wind direction from WIND1 (upper
anemometer).  During RESET8, WIND1 was corrected by rotating the alignment
ring instead of the anemometer.  This resulted in a better agreement between
the 2 anemometers, but is not the correct way to align an anemometer. The
alignment ring was readjusted for true north and the anemometer reset in
the proper slot (the original problem).
Measurements:twpsmet60sC1.b1:
  • Wind #1 direction standard deviation(wind1_dir_sd)

DataStreams:twpsmetC1.00, twpsmet60sC1.00, twpsmet60sC1.a1, twpsmet60sC1.b1
Description:
On 23 OCT 99, during Reset 8, an incorrect slope of was entered for the 
upper, windspeed1, wind speed sensor resulting in a 1% overestimate of
the wind speed.  The correct calibration was entered on 1 APR 2000 during
RESET 10.

TWP/SMET/C1 - Elevated relative humidity
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC1.a1, twpsmet60sC1.b1
Description:
The relative humidity has been exceeding 100% with unusual regularity.
The most dramatic case occured on December 31 when the RH exceeded 100%
for 18 hours and exceeded 103.5% for 6 hours with a maximum value of
103.8%.  A PIF was submitted to propose changing this sensor. This change
occurred on August 12, 1999.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC1.b1:
  • Relative humidity minimum(relh_min)
  • Std Dev of Relative Humidity or Hardware Error Code(relh_sd)

Description:
Data from the ceilometer during this period is suspect. From 10/28
until about 2/4 the instrument had a deteriorated window.  This
caused the ceilometer to only be able to see cloud heights up to
about 2 km.

conventions, etc were to be used for all sites, all data streams.  At the TWP
sites the time of the movement to the new convention did not occur precisely at 00:00:00.  
The following data files contain between 40 seconds and 20 minutes of data from 4/1/02 
in the old format.  The delayed format change did not affect data quality in any way.

TWP/C1 - Incorrect elevation reported in Manus Data

Description:
(From Bill Clements) We have been using 6m MSL as the station
elevation of Momote (Manus).  This was based on information
posted near the station barometer in the Momote Weather Service
Office.  It turns out that the official WMO station elevation
for Momote is 4m MSL and the upper air elevation is 5m MSL.

All Manus instruments except the sonde station are at 4m MSL.
The sonde launching station is at 5m MSL.

TWP/SMET/C1 - Negative Rainfall Rates
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC1.a1
Description:
Due to limitations of the Zeno dataloggers all voltage measurements
from the optical rain gauge (ORG) were converted to rainfall rates. 
This resulted in negative values for rain rates.  Any value below
0.10 mm/hr should be considered to be 0 mm/hr.	New dataloggers 
alleviated this problem.

  • Precipitation mean(precip_mean)
