TWP/MPL/C3 - False cloud detection at 15-20km
DataStreams:twpmplpolC3.b1, twpmplpolavgC3.c1, twpmplpolavgC3.s1, twpmplsmask1clothC3.c1
Description:
During the period specified, clouds were sometimes incorrectly detected at 15-20km.  These 
artifacts were seen as quasi-stationary layers that were clearly not atmospheric in 
origin.  A replacement instrument was installed in May 2007 to correct the problem.
Measurements:twpmplpolavgC3.s1:
  • Preliminary cloud base height above ground level, co-pol(preliminary_cbh_co_pol)
  • Preliminary cloud base height above ground level, cross-pol(preliminary_cbh_cross_pol)
  • Attenuated backscatter, copol(signal_return_co_pol)
  • Attenuated backscatter, cross pol(signal_return_cross_pol)

twpmplpolavgC3.c1:
  • Attenuated backscatter, cross pol(signal_return_cross_pol)
  • Preliminary cloud base height above ground level, cross-pol(preliminary_cbh_cross_pol)
  • Preliminary cloud base height above ground level, co-pol(preliminary_cbh_co_pol)
  • Attenuated backscatter, copol(signal_return_co_pol)
