Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - CMH Dew Point and RH data Incorrect
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The Chilled Mirror Dew Point reported negative dew point values. This caused the RH to be much lower than reality also. Compared to the 2m level the RH and dew point from the CMH are incorrect. Mirror was dirty, it was removed, cleaned and recalibrated.

Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - Instrument problem, Contamination, False signal
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	Heavy, wet and blowing snow and ice caused measurement problems with the sonic anemometer mounted at the 2m level. Erroneous readings caused both the wind speed and direction values to be reported anomolously. Once the heavy, wet snow and ice stopped the readings returned to normal.

Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - 20m Temperature/RH Sensor Failing
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The 20m temperature and RH sensor began reading high on 20040719. Aspirator fan failure caused a portion of the high reading. New fan failed to correct for all errors. Sensor replaced on 20040908 with recently calibrated sensor.

DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The 2m T & RH values were not in very good agreement with the CMH data or the other tower levels. A failed aspirator fan caused the readings to be incorrect.
Measurements:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1: Temperature, dew point, average, at 2-m height(DP2M_AVG) Temperature, air, average, at 2-m height(T2M_AVG) RH2M_STD Relative humidity, average, at 2-m height(RH2M_AVG) DP2M_STD T2M_STD VP2M_STD Pressure, vapor, at 2-m height(VP2M_AVG)

Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - All data from 10m Level Missing
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The winch that lowers the tower booms failed. Manual testing of the motor and winch allowed the booms to be lowered briefly and then raised back into position. A heavy freezing rain/icing event added extra weight to the booms. This extra weight was suspected as the cause as to why the 10m boom became disconnected. After a new motor was installed and all booms were lowered and re-raised the 10m level came back on line.

Subject:	NSA/METTWR/C1 - 40m Wind Direction Data Suspect
DataStreams:	nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:	The 40m wind direction data was suspect due to icing on the vane or a failing shafter heater or a combination of both. The affected data can be easily seen on comparison plots with other levels data or by checking the standard deviation of the 40m wind direction. Any standard deviation of less than 0.10 degrees for the 40m level suggest a sluggish/ice affected sensor.
