SGP/AOS/C1 - Nephelometer failure
DataStreams:sgpaosC1.a0, sgpaosauxC1.a0
Description:
An inexperienced AOS technician inadvertently closed off the flow to the dual-nephelometer 
humidograph system during a Friday Preventative Maintenance.  This resulted in liquid 
water getting into the humidified nephelometer.  Flow was restored to the system on Monday, 
but the nephelometers were producing strange data.  A number of tests were performed 
over the next few days to remotely troubleshoot the situation, to no avail.  Eventually, the 
decision was made to pull both nephelometers and return them to Boulder for repair.  
This DQR refers only to the reference nephelometer, which was out of service for 2 periods 
due to 2 separate problems.  This DQR is for the first period, from 000602 (1842 GMT) to 
000616 (2234 GMT).  Light absorption are invalid whenever the reference nephelometer is 
not operational, because those data are required for correction of the absorption data.
