SGP/MWRHF/C1 - Reprocessed: Rapid drift in 90 GHz noise diode
DataStreams:sgpmwrhfC1.b1
Description:
The noise diode of the 90 GHz channel was showing rapid drifts that affected the accuracy 
of the calibration. Although the algorithm is designed to follow slow drifts in the noise 
diode, in this case (because the variation was fast) the computed brightness temperature 
was probably about 4-5 K colder than it should be.

Ingest was modified and data were reprocessed and archived in September 2011
Measurements:sgpmwrhfC1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature (90 GHz)(tbsky90)

SGP/MPL/C1 - Water intrusion
DataStreams:sgpmplpolfsC1.b1
Description:
Instrument temperatures were incorrect.  On 02/01 and 02/03 they essentially flat lined at 
0 C, while on 02/02 the temps were lower than normal (although given the external temp 
they may be accurate), with several data spikes throughout the day.

Background signal values were excessively low throughout the entire period. Co- and 
cross-pol plotted values appear to have had a 3-5 km artificial elevation, resulting in plotted 
cloud bases appearing much higher than they actually were.

System was not operating correctly due to water intrusion.

SGP/SIRS/C1 - NIP failure

Description:
The short_direct_normal (NIP instrument) cable failed during this time period.	Data are 
not recoverable.

Users can derive an estimate of direct normal values using the following formula:
short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse_hemisp)/cos(zenith angle)

SGP/BRS/C1 - SW Direct Normal incorrect
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Apparent lightning strike in the instrument cluster area resulted in a failed NIP. Data 
are missing or incorrect.  

The SIRS was due for calibration change outs so the US, DS, DD and NIP were replaced. The 
updated program was loaded at approximately 06/14/2011 1739 GMT.

An estimate of direct normal values can be derived using the following formula:

short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse_hemisp)/cos(zenith angle)

Description:
The neph backscatter shutter started to fail which resulted in large background values in 
the dry nephelometer. The data is poor quality even though it may look ok.

Instead use the data in the wet nephelometer. Note that during some of this time period 
the RH value inside of this neph ramped up and down so use data at the low RH values.

SGP/MWRHF/C1 - Dew formation on window
DataStreams:sgpmwrhfC1.b1
Description:
During the indicated time there was moisture or dew on the radiometer window and the 
brightness temperatures are too high. The presence of dew can be recognized by a smooth 
increase in the brightness temperature followed by a smooth decrease over several hours.
Measurements:sgpmwrhfC1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature (90 GHz)(tbsky90)
  • Sky brightness temperature (150 GHz)(tbsky150)

SGP/SIRS/C1 - NIP Failure
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sC1.a0, sgpsirsC1.b1
Description:
The short_direct_normal (NIP instrument) cable failed (broken wire in NIP connector) 
during this time period. Data are not recoverable.


An estimate of direct normal values can be derived using the following formula:

short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse_hemisp)/cos(zenith angle)

SGP/BRS/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect calibration coefficient for down_short_diffuse_hemisp
DataStreams:sgpbrs20sC1.a0, sgpbrsC1.b1
Description:
Applied calibration coefficient and serial number for down_short_diffuse was incorrect for 
the specified period.

Perform the following calculation to correct the data, 
DD= downwelling diffuse instrument:
Old Calibration coefficient = 114.74[W/m2\mV]
New Calibration Coefficient = 109.51[W/m2\mV]   
DD(new)[W/m2]=( DD(old)[W/m2]/ 114.74 [W/m2\mV] )* 109.51 [W/m2/mV]

SGP/SIRS/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect downwelling longwave calibration coefficient
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sC1.a0, sgpsirsC1.b1
Description:
Calibration coefficient for downwelling longwave was incorrect for the specified period.

To correct the one minute data b1 datastream follow the procedure below:
1) Obtain the following variables from the 20s datastream for each one minute of the 
affected time range:
  inst_down_long_shaded_dome_resist (Rd)
  inst_down_long_shaded_case_resist (Rc)
  inst_down_long_hemisp_shaded_tp (tpDIR_mV)
                                         
2) using the 20s tp voltage in mV convert to uV.
  tpDIR[uV] = inst_down_long_hemisp_shaded_tp[mV]*1000[uV/mV]

3) For each 20s data entry convert Rd and Rc to temperature
  Td =1/ (a0 + (a1*LN (Rd*1000) + (a2*LN (Rd*1000)^3)))
  Tc = 1/ (a0 + (a1*LN (Rc*1000) + (a2*LN (Rc*1000)^3)))
  where a0 = 0.0010295 
        a1 = 0.0002391
        a2 = 0.0000001568

4) Apply for each 20s data entry: (correct k1=0.2762)
  WinDIR(W/m2)= [0.2762*tpDIR] + Sigma*Tc^4 -4*Sigma*(Td^4 - Tc^4)
  where, Sigma = 5.6704E-8 (Stefan-Boltzman Const)
                                      
5) Generate new 1 minute average from the 3 20-second measurements

SGP/AOS/C1 - CPC leak

sgpnoaaaosavgC1.b1
Description:
There was a slow internal leak in the CPC instrument and the data slowly decreased over 
time. The CN concentration is a lower limit and is likely 5 to 20% lower than the actual 
value with higher errors toward the end of the DQR period. The problem was fixed by 
replacing the CPC saturator block.
