Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Blower motor failure
DataStreams:	nsaaeriC1.00, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaeriengineerC1.b1, nsaaerilblcloudsC1.c1, nsaaerirawC1.00, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	The blower motor failed on February 9, estimated time 23:00 GMT. The problem was repaired on February 10, 23:00 GMT. The blower motor serves two functions. It maintains the instrument window enclosure at the outside temperature and blows ice crystals from the enclosure. Failure of the motor caused the enclosure temperature to increase by approximately 12K (from 255 to 267K). Previous experience in comparing arctic instruments with the blower on and off have shown that if ice crystals enter the enclosure, there is a slight increase in the 3-5 um (ch 2) spectral intensity. It is unlikely that Ch 1 is affected.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Blower Motor Failure -Channel 1 data effect
DataStreams:	nsaaeriC1.00, nsaaeriengineerC1.b1, nsaaerilblcloudsC1.c1, nsaaerirawC1.00, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	The blower motor failed on February 9, estimated time 23:00 GMT. The problem was repaired on February 10, 23:00 GMT. The blower motor serves two functions. It maintains the instrument window enclosure at the outside temperature and blows ice crystals from the enclosure. Failure of the motor caused the enclosure temperature to increase by approximately 12K (from 255 to 267K). Previous experience in comparing arctic instruments with the blower on and off have shown that if ice crystals enter the enclosure, there is a slight increase in the 3-5 um (ch 2) spectral intensity. It is unlikely that Ch 1 is affected. However, we can not be certain that there is no problem with the data. Hence, this DQR should be considered a warning that Channel 1 data may be affected.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Excessive Noise in C1 AERI data
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	Initially it was believed that the greater noise level in AERI C1 data was due to the extended range detector, which has lower sensitivity. However, when the S01 AERI was installed next to the C1 AERI and it stabilized on 9/30/2005, it was observed that the noise levels on the newly installed S01 AERI were much lower than for the C1 AERI. Therefore, the excessive noise of the C1 AERI is not due to the fundamental nature of the extended range detector but instead due to failure within the detector. The failure could be due to a poor D* value of too high a detector temperature. It could also be caused by optical alignment issues. In either case, the spectral radiance data have much more noise and that results in larger error bars when using the radiance data, especially long wave data as monitored by the LW_HBB_NEN flag. On 9/30/2005, the S01 AERI, which is next to the C1 AERI, came on-line and is producing low noise data. The S01 data should be used instead of the C1 data where low noise requirements are needed. On 6/26/2006, the S01 AERI went offline due to a laser failure. The C1 AERI was moved to the connex where data were within reasonable limits for an extended range detector. Beginning 20060701, the C1 data are the preferred AERI data set at the NSA Barrow location.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Reprocessed: Failed temp sensor affected calibration
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	On 18 Oct 2006, a thermistor that measures the temperature of the blackbody support structure failed, resulting in erroneously high values. This measurement, which is captured by the field "BBsupportStructureTemp", provides the temperature of the radiance that is reflected into the blackbody (i.e., captured by the field "calibrationAmbientTemp"), and thus the calibrated radiance (the field "mean_rad") was incorrect and outside the ARM specification that the AERI data should be absolutely calibrated to within 1% of the ambient radiance. The broken thermistor was fixed on 22 Nov 2006. Fortunately, since the emissivity of the blackbodies is so high, absolute accuracy of the calibrationAmbientTemp is not required but should be within a few degrees. The radiance data have been recalibrated using the ambient blackbody temperature (the field "calibrationCBBtemp") as a surrogate of the calibrationAmbientTemp. Historically, the calibrationAmbientTemp and calibrationCBBtemp measurements have been within 1-2 deg. As a result of this recalibration, the radiance data are now absolutely calibrated to better than 1%.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Snow in enclosure
DataStreams:	nsaaeriC1.00, nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	A heavy, wet snowstorm late on April 17th and early on the 18th resulted in wet snow packing around the arms of the AERI's hatch controller. This resulted in the ventilator fan not shutting down when the hatch closed, and thus snow was packed into the front of the AERI (i.e., around the scene mirror and blackbodies). The data for this period should not be used.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Reprocessed: Failed temp sensor affected calibration
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	On 11 Nov 2007, a thermistor that measures the temperature of the blackbody support structure failed, resulting in erroneously high values. This measurement, which is captured by the field "BBsupportStructureTemp", provides the temperature of the radiance that is reflected into the blackbody (i.e., captured by the field "calibrationAmbientTemp"), and thus the calibrated radiance (the field "mean_rad") was incorrect and outside the ARM specification that the AERI data should be absolutely calibrated to within 1% of the ambient radiance. The broken thermistor was fixed on 28 Nov 2007. Fortunately, since the emissivity of the blackbodies is so high, absolute accuracy of the calibrationAmbientTemp is not required but should be within a few degrees. The radiance data have been recalibrated using the ambient blackbody temperature (the field "calibrationCBBtemp") as a surrogate of the calibrationAmbientTemp. Historically, the calibrationAmbientTemp and calibrationCBBtemp measurements have been within 1-2 deg. As a result of this recalibration, the radiance data are now absolutely calibrated to better than 1%. The reprocessed data were archived 21 Jan 2008.

DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	The blackbody support structure temperature sensor on the NSA.C1 AERI were biased high by approximately 25K beginning 20071217 and became progressively worse until the sensor was replaced 20080213. The temperature from this sensor is used to calibrate the radiance data for the AERI. The AERI data have been reprocessed by replacing the data from the failed sensor with the cold blackbody temperature sensor data and producing corrected/recalibrated radiance data. The reprocessed data were archived in March 2008.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - AERI infiltrated by packed snow
DataStreams:	nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1, nsaaeriengineerC1.b1, nsaaerisummaryC1.b1
Description:	A strong storm with blowing and drifting snow occurred March 9th and 10th during which time the hatch remained open and snow entered the front end of the AERI enclosure. During the period, the snow obscured scene mirror views of downwelling radiance as well as views into the Black Body cavities which provide reference radiances used for calibration. Snow also collected around components inside the enclosure thereby possibly interfering with scene mirror views after the storm until the snow was removed and the front end compartment was dried late on March 13th. Possible corrupting effects apply to all measurement data streams. Measurements are probably bad during the period of the storm and suspect following the storm through March 13th.

Subject:	NSA/AERI/C1 - Partial data collection
DataStreams:	nsaaerisummaryC1.b1, nsaaeriengineerC1.b1, nsaaerich1C1.b1, nsaaerich2C1.b1
Description:	A corrupt file was found to be crashing the AERI software after approximately 30 minutes of data were collected each day during this time period. With the minimal data collected each day it is advised that data users choose dates outside of this time range for research requiring AERI data.
Measurements:	nsaaerich2C1.b1: channelNumber Radiation, longwave, downwelling radiance, 0.5 cm-1 resolution, 3.3-5.5 um(mean_rad) time_offset AERIunitNumber outsideAirTemp calibrationHBBtemp base_time
