FKB/AERI/M1 - Hatch controller failure

Hatch controller did not report correctly during entire deployment, likely due to a failed 
monitoring switch in unit.  Please review monthly mentor reports for information on when the 
hatch was open or closed.

FKB/RWP/M1 - Amplifier failure

The RWP stopped getting signals, presumably due to failure of the final amplifier.  System 
was turned off on Aug 3, 2007 and no further data were collected.

FKB/RWP/M1 - Chaff released in Murg Valley

As part of the research activities associated with the COPS field campaign, the research 
center at Karlsruhe released aluminum chaff (2.5 cm in length) in the Murg Valley in order 
to study atmospheric diffusion.  It is possible that some of this chaff drifted over the 
AMF site and thus may have influenced the radar observations (as spurious echos).

FKB/AOS/M1 - failed neph motor

The chopper motor in the "dry" nephelometer (Neph1) stopped working on Julian day 343.15 
or 12/9/07 0330 UTC. This motor controls a chopper wheel which alternates the signal 
between a "dark" phase, "calibration" phase and signal. Logging on the instrument was turned 
off on 12/18/2007 at 0100 UTC.The second nephelometer (Neph2) was used to replace Neph1. 
Data logging resumed on day 352 or 12/20/2007 using the replacement neph. From day 347 to 
352, Neph 2 was logging data without use of the humidifier. The neph2 data during this 
time can be used as the dry neph scattering coefficients.

FKB/AOS/M1 - Neph motor failure

Because of motor failure on Neph1 the logging of this instrument was turned off. The data 
logging on Neph2 was switched to log the dry scattering coefficients. The humidifier 
scanning was disabled.  

There are no Wet or humidified measurements of the aerosol scattering coefficients during 
this time period.

FKB/ECOR/M1 - Flux Data Suspect For Some Wind Directions

For some wind directions the horizontal fetch was not representative of the field in which 
the AMF was located.  Therefore, for the wind direction ranges 
40-159 and 176-209 degrees, the fluxes are affected by insufficient fetch and  surfaces, 
buildings, and vegetation that are not similar to the local field conditions.
