Subject:
SGP/AOS/C1 - Data processing problem
DataStreams:sgpnoaaaosC1.b1
Description:
The AOS data was reprocessed for the AMF, SGP and NSA sites. There was an error in the 
processing of the corrections for the PSAP absorption signal such that a low pass filter was 
implemented for the scattering data used in these corrections.The difference between the 
corrected and previous data is < 0.05 Mm-1 (below the instrument detection limit) and 
should not have a significant effect on the previous data. Data will be reprocessed at a 
later time when more significant changes to the data processing are implemented.

  • Absorption coefficient blue, corrected for flow and sample area, 3 wavelength

Subject:
SGP/AOS/C1 - CPC leak
DataStreams:sgpnoaaaosC1.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.

  • Condensation nuclei concentration number(N_CPC_1)
