TWP/SMET/C3 - Intermittent Pressure Sensor Failure
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC3.a1, twpsmet60sC3.b1
Description:
The Barometric Pressure sensor was intermittently failing at TWP site C3 Darwin.  At times 
there were large pressure fluctuations occurring on the order of 24 mb in a few minutes. 
 Times of large pressure fluctuations are readily apparent in the data.  At these times 
the data should be carefully analyzed before determining it's usefulness.  In between the 
periods of large fluctuations the readings appear to be stable.  It is still suggested 
that independent pressure data be obtained for comparison before use.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC3.a1:
  • Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

twpsmet60sC3.b1:
  • Barometric Pressure(atmos_pressure)

TWP/SMET/C3 - Data reported at 15sec rather than 60s intervals
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC3.a1, twpsmet60sC3.b1
Description:
Data in these data streams should be reports at 60sec intervals, but
the logger program running during this time had the interval set to
15s.  Users will have to average the 15sec data to get 60sec data.

Subject:
TWP/SMET/C3 - Negative rainfall rates
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC3.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.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC3.a1:
  • Precipitation mean(precip_mean)
  • Precipitation standard deviation(precip_sd)
  • precipitation minimum(precip_min)
  • Precipitation maximum(precip_max)
