NSA/AERI/C1 - Loss of Temperature Stabilization

Instrument lost temperature stabilization on 4/19 @ 1700 and data became
very noisy and was shut down at 2300 (GMT). Turned back on 4/21 still look like detector 
temperature is to high, data very noisy. Production of good data resumed on 05/01/01.

NSA/GNDRAD/C2 - IRT insufficiently heated

C.  Measurements of sky temperature were over-estimated when instrument was below 
freezing.

or cleaning it.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Shaded PIR data suspect

The instrument had incorrect calibration settings on two accounts: 1. From 12/09 to 12/12, 
the calibration was set incorrectly. 2. The dome correction coefficients were not 
properly set until the early morning of 12/14. The erroneous settings caused an error probably 
less than 4%.

• PIR shaded maximum(pirs_max)
• PIR shaded standard deviation(pirs_sd)

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - PIR data suspect

The PIR unshaded and the PIR shaded have a persistent offset between them, ranging from 0 
to 10 W/m2. It is particularly apparent during clear sky. The line of sight of the PIRd 
is obstructed making it difficult to assess the problem. The instrument was moved to its 
proper location in early February. The problem seems to have resolved itself with the move.

calibration and correct calibrations were not entered for replacement.  Some 
missing data during this time interval as well

performed

NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Noisy PIR Data

During the period referenced, the ground PIR was noisy in comparison to the sky PIR data.  
At the end of November, the noise increased to roughly 10 W/m2 from peak to peak.  After 
12/23/98, the noise decreased in amplitude but still had noisy patterns.  

On 01/17-18/99, there was an increase again in the noise level (4 GMT 01/17 - 5 GMT 
01/18). During this period the gndrad IRT data also exhibited noise patterns (the IRT was not 
operational).

In February, the instrument exhibited large noise variations again.  On 02/16, a wiring 
problem was corrected and the noise dropped back to 1-5 W/m2.  However, the noise levels 
began to increase again.

• PIR1 unshaded minimum(pir1_min)

NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - PIR1 Calibration problems resulted in small error

early morning of 12/15. These errors probably account for less than 4% in error.

• PIR1 unshaded standard deviation(pir1_sd)
• PIR1 unshaded mean(pir1_mean)
• PIR1 unshaded maximum(pir1_max)

NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - IRT removed for testing

The IRT instrument was at PNNL for cold temperature modifications and testing. Instruments 
returned for the summer season. Data collected after the instrument return looks 
reasonable. 

IRT data recorded during the period the instrument was removed is bad.

• IRT1 maximum(irt1_max)

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - IRT measurements during precipitation events

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.

NSA/AERI/C1 - Data file header manipulated

The NSA.C1 AERI data for 19990321 and 19990324 were processed on
July 23, 2004 using version 1.24 of the ingest.  This resulted
in the creation of .b1 level data files.  Because the other March
1999 data are .a1 level data files, the .b1 files were modified
using nc_tools (nc_copy, ncvarrename, ncattcopy) to create .a1
level data files.

The data in the files were not changed in anyway.  Only header
modifications were made.  The user may notice small header differences
between these files and others from March 1999.

NSA/METTOWER - Questionable NSA Met-tower wind data

The data analysis software for the NSA Met-tower system was upgraded at 2200 GMT
on 8 SEP 1999.  The upgrade included insertion of  -99.99's for the wind vectors 
when the wind speed or direction were either missing or equal to 0.  This 
resulted in incorrect vector averaged wind speed, wind direction, and 
standard deviation of wind direction.  When this occurred, the 
vector-averaged wind speed and standard deviation of wind direction 
were often abnormally high and the vector-averaged wind direction
 was often approximately 225 deg.  Starting at 2300 GMT on 25 OCT 99
missing wind data were replaced by the previous 1-min average and 
starting at 2200 GMT on 15 NOV 1999 the computed wind vectors were 
used whenever wind speeds or wind directions were 0.

NSA/METOWER - Reprocess: Incorrect NSA wind direction minima and maxima

From the time of installation of the NSA C1 Met-tower system on 24 MAR 1998
until 29 NOV 1999 all wind direction minima and maxima were reported as raw
(unrotated) data.  In order to obtain correct minima and maxima 30 deg must
be subtracted from the value.  All mean wind directions were computed from
rotated (corrected) data.
