Subject:
TWP/SMET/C3 - Wind Speed data contain offset due to induced voltage
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC3.b1
Description:
The marine model of the RM Young wind sensor needs twisted pair shielded cable.  The 
manufacturer did not originally supply the pigtail with twisted pair shielded cable.  Use of 
twisted pair shielded cable for the rest of the cable run to the logger was also not 
specified.  This caused an induced voltage in the wind speed line from the wind direction 
excitation.  The induced voltage varied from sensor to sensor and probably changed anytime 
the cable was replaced or parts of the wind sensor were repaired or replaced. The induced 
voltage has been seen to vary from 0.15 m/s to as much as 1.08 m/s.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC3.b1:
  • Upper sensor, wind speed maximum(up_spd_max)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed minimum(lo_spd_min)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed standard deviation(lo_spd_sd)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed maximum(lo_spd_max)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed arithmetic average(up_spd_arith_avg)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed vector average(lo_spd_vec_avg)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed minimum(up_spd_min)
  • Lower sensor, wind speed arithmetic average(lo_spd_arith_avg)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed vector average(up_spd_vec_avg)
  • Upper sensor, wind speed standard deviation(up_spd_sd)

TWP/SMET/C2 - ORG rainrate high due to calibration.
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC2.b1
Description:
The rainrate from the ORG was high due to calibration.  This data is not real.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC2.b1:
  • Precipitation maximum(precip_max)
  • Precipitation mean(precip_mean)
  • precipitation minimum(precip_min)
  • Precipitation standard deviation(precip_sd)
