Subject:
SGP/AERI/C1 - Reprocess: intermittent interferogram spikes.
DataStreams:sgpaerich1C1.b1
Description:
The AERI spectra exhibit a ringing spectral feature on an intermittent basis. The symptom 
is a 'sawtooth' pattern in the spectrum.  This occurs predominantly in Ch2, but also in 
Ch1.  Affected records are unusable and mentor team is going to identify the spikes, 
remove them from the raw data and resubmit raw data to the archive.

Subject:
SGP/AERI/C1 - Radiance contaminated from optical trailer air
DataStreams:sgpaerich1C1.b1
Description:
Under certain conditions, the observed atmospheric radiance at the lowest level (near the 
surface) is contaminated by air from inside the optical trailer. This is a result of an 
inadequate seal between the AERI front-end (outside) and back-end (inside the optical 
trailer), which let inside air penetrate into the first ~1 m of the AERI optical path.  This 
primarily affects the 540-700 cm-1 region, and retrievals and temperature and water 
vapor.  The result is an artifact in the amplitude of the atmospheric radiance that closely 
mirrors the temperature fluctuations inside the optical trailer, specifically oscillations 
with a period of 10-15 mins.
