| Subject: | SGP/AERI/C1 - Instrument run in slow sample mode. |
| DataStreams: | sgpaeriC1.00 |
| Description: | Data is fine but the instrument was run in slow sample mode for these 3 days. We had changed the digital meter followed by a short 3rd body test that is run in slow sample mode. The instrument wasn't not switched back to rapid sample mode during this period. |

| Subject: | SGP/AERI/C1 - Reprocess: Spectral calibration to change |
| DataStreams: | sgpaeriC1.00 |
| Description: | The AERI interferometer laser was changed in the field causing the spectral calibration to change. Effects will be more noticeable for higher wavenumber data. Unless doing trace gas retrievals likely won't notice much of a change once the reprocessed data is in place. |

| Subject: | SGP/AERI/C1 - Reprocess: intermittent interferogram spikes. |
| DataStreams: | sgpaeriC1.00 |
| 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: | sgpaeriC1.00 |
| 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. |
