TWP/SMET/C2 - Lower windspeed sensor questionable
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC2.b1
Description:
Lower wind speed sensor had degraded bearings.  This sensor was reporting as much as 0.4 
m/s lower values than the upper sensors when the winds were 2 m/s or below.  The sensor 
was replaced.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC2.b1:
  • Lower sensor, wind speed minimum(lo_spd_min)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed arithmetic average(lo_spd_arith_avg)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed maximum(lo_spd_max)

Description:
The instrument underwent a configuration change.  Around this time there was a glitch in 
the functioning of this instrument resulting in the hemispheric and diffuse data jumping 
offscale.  The problem lasted for about three days.  Use no data during the period covered 
by this DQR.

TWP/SKYRAD/C1 - Failed PSP ventilator fan
DataStreams:twpskyrad20sC1.a0, twpskyrad60sC1.b1
Description:
On 1/31 the ventilator for the PSP measuring downwelling_shortwave_hemispheric irradiance 
failed.  The DQ effect of this failure on the measurement of down_short_hemisp is not 
possible to fully quantify but it has been noted that during these failures the PSP 
nighttime values can be several (1-3W/m2) smaller than usual.  Another effect is slower thermal 
response (1hr) of the PSP instrument due to daytime heating and cooling of the ventilator 
housing.
