NIM/RWP/M1 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 389)
DataStreams:nim915rwpwindconM1.a1
Description:
See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150109.  Original 
DQR category: 3 (Yellow, Suspect).

-----------------------------------------------------------

A strong wind storm on June 17, 2006 toppled the RWP antenna.  After repair and 
reinstallation, the wind direction reported by the instrument was rotated counterclockwise 90 
degrees, possibly because the antenna was installed rotated by 90 deg.  This condition 
continued through the remainder of deployment.

All wind direction values need to be increased by 90 degrees.
Measurements:nim915rwpwindconM1.a1:
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude, 915 MHz RWP(u_wind)
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)

FKB/RWP/M1 - Amplifier failure
DataStreams:fkb1290rwpwindconM1.a1
Description:
The RWP stopped getting signals, presumably due to failure of the final amplifier.  System 
was turned off on Aug 3, 2007 and no further data were collected.

FKB/RWP/M1 - Chaff released in Murg Valley
DataStreams:fkb1290rwpwindconM1.a1
Description:
As part of the research activities associated with the COPS field campaign, the research 
center at Karlsruhe released aluminum chaff (2.5 cm in length) in the Murg Valley in order 
to study atmospheric diffusion.  It is possible that some of this chaff drifted over the 
AMF site and thus may have influenced the radar observations (as spurious echos).
