ENA/SONDE/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Incorrect station surface value

DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The surface altitude was mistakenly set to 106 meters, while the correct value is 30.5 
meters. This value has been corrected in the raw data. This change invalidates all altitude 
data in each sonde launch during this time period. 

ORIGINAL DQR CATEGORY: Red( Incorrect)

REPROCESSED and CORRECTED DATA ARCHIVED:2016-04-12

REPROCESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: RID 1400

---------------------------------------------------
--- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION ---
---------------------------------------------------
Station surface value was changed mistakenly. This change invalidates all altitude data in 
each sonde launch during the time period stated.

• Altitude above mean sea level(alt)

ENA/SONDE/C1 - Reprocessing Notice (RID 1402)

DATA REPROCESSED.  Data was reprocessed on 20160224 to fix issues noted in the original 
DQR copied below.

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

For unknown reasons, the longitude set in the BBSS DigiCORA was reported incorrectly as 
28.03, when the correct value is actually -28.03.

• East longitude(lon)

ENA/MET/C1 - Ventilator maintenance

Data are incorrect during this time due to ventilator maintenance.

• vapor_pressure_mean
• Humidity, relative, at 2-m height, 1-min avg(rh_mean)
• rh_std
• vapor_pressure_std
• Temperature mean(temp_mean)
• temp_std

ENA/MET/C1 - Reprocess: Wind direction off by 180 degrees

The wind sensor was not aligned correctly. Wind directions during this time are off by 180 
degrees.

• Wind direction vector mean(wdir_vec_mean)

ENA/SONDE/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Surface wind direction from MET incorrect by 180 
deg

DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The surface wind direction was incorrect by 180 degrees for three sonde launches during 
this time period when the MET instrument had been moved. Raw data for these launches have 
been corrected. 

ORIGINAL DQR CATEGORY: Red( Incorrect)

REPROCESSED and CORRECTED DATA ARCHIVED:2016-03-31

REPROCESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: RID 1433

---------------------------------------------------
--- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION ---
---------------------------------------------------

Surface values for sonde are taken from colocated MET.  Wind direction was incorrect by 
180 deg after the wind bird was moved so that the MAWS ultrasonic could be installed.  
Three sonde launches took place with incorrect wind direction before error was corrected by 
adjusting MET wind bird to correct direction.

• Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)
• Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude, 915 MHz RWP(u_wind)
• Wind Direction(deg)

ENA/MET/C1 - Optical rain gauge precipitation test

Precipitation recorded by the optical rain gauge during this time is incorrect. Response 
to precipitation was being tested.

• ORG precipitation rate mean(org_precip_rate_mean)

ENA/MET/C1 - Optical rain gauge error

During these times the optical rain gauge malfunctioned and recorded invalid 
precipitation. Sensor was replaced.

• ORG precipitation rate mean(org_precip_rate_mean)

ENA/C1 - Reprocess: Slightly incorrect location fields

Some of the instruments are being processed with the previous "GRW-Azores" lat/lon/alt 
instead of the new "ENA-Azores" lat/lon/alt. The differences are minor, but will be 
corrected. The respective GRW and ENA lat, lon, and alt values are as follows:
 
GRW  lat = 39.0911 ;
ENA lat = 39.0916 ;
GRW  lon = -28.0297 ;
ENA  lon = -28.0257 ;
GRW  alt = 26 ;
ENA  alt = 30.48 ;
