Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT malfunction |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The internal IRT power supply failed (probably due to a lightning strike on 11/14) and was drawing excessive current on the data logger's DC system. The problem was corrected by replacing the instrument with a spare. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT power |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT failed to report after a planned power outage to add lightning protection modules to the AC power wiring. The problem was corrected when a loose power connection to the logger was found, rectified, and power restored to the logger. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - ORG data noisy due to degraded ground |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | SMET Rain Data began to be noisy during December 2005 and the problem slowly became worse over time so that in February 2006 the ORG was reporting with a constant background value of around 0.10 mm/hr rain rate. ORG voltage showed a near constant value above the 85mV threshold. The ground for the ORG had become degraded and was lost due to corrosion. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Reprocess: Windspeed2 calibration error |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The lower anemometer was replaced afer being removed in anticipation of cyclone Monica. The calibration coefficient was not changed during this period so the wind speeds are a little low (0.2%). |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT failed |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT began to fail on 4/7/2006 and failed completely (apparently due to the internal power supply) on 4/27. It was replaced on 5/18. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003. These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to restore proper calibrations. The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place are being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias. Note, this also affected standard deviation, maximum and minimum data fields. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Reprocess: Barometric Data Changed from hPa to kPa |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | Barometric pressure data was converted from hPa to kPa in order to standardize the measurement units among ARM sites and to conform to accepted standard units determined by the scientific community. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT bias |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT reported higher surface temperatures than the PIR due to corrosion on the terminals of the lightning protection module and a ground wire error. The corrosion was cleaned and the wiring corrected. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Reprocess: Tipping bucket rain gauge added |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | A tipping bucket rain gauge was added to the SMET suite of instruments effective 20060926. Two new variables (count and rain amount) were added at the end of the twpsmet60sC1.b1 datastream. When reprocessing of this datastream occurs these variables will be added with -9999 (missing) as the value for dates prior to gauge installation. |

DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The upper wind measurement was consistently slower by around 0.5 - 1 m/s than the lower wind measurement. The bearings on the upper wind measurement were binding. |
