Subject:
"bsrn" platform at SGP data problem
DataStreams:sgpbsrnC1.00, sgpbsrnC1.a0, sgpbsrnC1.a1, sgpbsrn1duttC1.c1
Description:
As reported in ARM Technical Report ARM-TR-002, the 'bsrn' data at the SGP CF
was not in agreement with the co-located SIRS E13 and C1 data. Subsequent
discussion led to the conclusion that ther was a voltage problem with the
'bsrn' data logger. In development and testing of the Diffuse Correction and
Best Estimate Flux VAPs, it has been shown that all 'bsrn' data, all
instruments, suffered this data logger problem. The result is noisy and
slightly offset values, seemingly at random throughout the period from October
1998 through the end of the 'bsrn' data stream and it's replacement by the BRS
system. All this data needs to be colored 'questionable', and all data users
need to be informed that either the SIRS E13 or SIRS C1 data should be used
instead.
