SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Reprocess: Angstrom Exponent Error
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1
Description:
The data used to calculate the angstrom exponent was incorrect.  These
fields should not be used.  All other fields are considered good.
Measurements:sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1:
  • Angstrom exponent(barnard_angstrom_exponent)
  • Angstrom exponent(michalsky_angstrom_exponent)

SGP/AOS/C1/ - Pump failure
DataStreams:sgpaosccnC1.a1
Description:
The ratio of CCN to CN started to noticeably decline around 20070901. After a site visit 
on 20071023, the mentor found a problem with the instrument flows and diaphragm pump.  The 
instrument was return to Boulder, CO for repair. The diaphragm pump was repaired and the 
flows re-calibrated. The instrument was returned to service 20071113. 

The CCN data show qualitative changes in the number of droplets formed with changes in 
supersaturation. Because the pump was not working properly and the flows were likely 
incorrect, the numbers are not quantitative.
Measurements:sgpaosccnC1.a1:
  • AOS CCN sample supersaturation calculated by model)(CCN_ss_calc)
  • CCN temperature gradient(CCN_Temperature_Gradient)
  • AOS bin number of lowest channel of OPC include in summation of N_CCN(N_CCN_bin_number)
  • AOS CCN sample pressure(CCN_P_sample)
  • AOS CCN sample saturation setpoint value reported by instrument(CCN_ss_set)
  • AOS CCN volumetric flowrate of sheath air(CCN_Q_sheath)
  • AOS number concentration of CCN(N_CCN)
  • AOS CCN volumetric flowrate of sample air(CCN_Q_sample)
  • AOS CCN number concentration by bin(N_CCN_dN)

SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Shadowband misalignment
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE13.a0, sgpmfrsrE13.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE13.c1
Description:
The E13 MFRSR developed a shading problem on or about 05/04.  (The exact date when this 
problem started is difficult to pin down exactly.) The shading problem is easy to identify 
on a clear day because plots of direct beam and diffuse irradiance versus time become 
"fuzzy".  The total irradiance is not affected.
  

In response to the shading problem, a whole sequence of events then ensued: these actions 
were designed to solve the shading problem but did not succeed until the very end.

Here's a rundown of what took place:

98/05/11 - shadowband adjustment was made at 1544 GMT
         - this adjustment corrected the shading problem that 
           occurred in the morning, but inadvertently caused
           a PM shading problem 
98/05/20 - shadowband adjustment at 1804 GMT
98/05/21 - shadowband adjustment at 1630 GMT
98/06/01 - shadowband adjustment at 1910 GMT
98/06/02 - shadowband adjustmnet at 1550 GMT

Alas, these adjustments did not solve the shading problem and
it seemed to get worse (for example, on 06/11 the shading 
is VERY BAD from sunup until about 1500 LST).

98/06/16 - shadowband adjustment at 1715 GMT

This final adjustment seems to a solved the problem!
