Subject:
GAN/MET/M1 - Intermittent PWD alarm
DataStreams:ganmetM1.b1
Description:
Intermittent backscatter alarms were tripping on the PWD suggesting something was blocking 
(dew) or getting into the measurement path (spider or ants).  Problem resolved 10/9 with 
no clear indication of the cause.

GAN/RAIN/M1 - Precipitation not measured
DataStreams:ganrainM1.b1
Description:

communications problems.

GAN/RAIN/M1 - Noise in sensor 3
DataStreams:ganrainM1.b1
Description:
Sensor 3 was noisy after data collection resumed.  This noise cleared up on its own by 
20111212 123000 and the noise will only effect the raw data.  The ingest which produces the 
b1 version of the data removes the noise.
Measurements:ganrainM1.b1:

  • Precipitation rate(precip_rate)
  • Precipitation, total(precip)
