Subject: | TWP/MWR/C2 - Uncertainty in clock time |
DataStreams: | twpmwrlosC2.b1, twpmwrtipC2.a1 |
Description: | At ARCS2, the MWR computer clock was not being updated because no NTP time service software was installed on the computer. During Nauru99, on 6/24/99, the clock was found to be 3 minutes and 17 seconds fast. Assuming that the time was properly set at installation on 10/26/98 (which is not indicated in the installation report) and never reset until 6/24/99, the rate of time drift on the computer was about +0.8 seconds per day. However, if the time was not reset since integration at AIS on 1/14/98 (which is recorded in my integration notes), then the rate of drift is about +0.4 seconds per day. The computer was replaced and time service started on 7/30/99. |

Subject: | TWP/MWR/C2 - Installation |
DataStreams: | twpmwrlosC2.b1, twpmwrtipC2.a1 |
Description: | The Nauru ARCS was installed during the period September-November 1998. Data were being collected by the end of October, but for the first several weeks of November, the site was undergoing considerable change, so data from that period should be used with caution. The official site dedication occured on November 20. Most on-site activity ended following the dedication so we will consider November 20 to be the beginning of the Nauru operations. The last members of the installation team left Nauru on November 24. |

Subject: | TWP/MWR/C2 - damaged teflon window |
DataStreams: | twpmwrtipC2.a1 |
Description: | From the RESET11N daily report for 11Apr00: At around 15:00 (4/10/00) it was noticed that the 50hz outside power breaker was tripped. When it was reset to get the WSI running the MWR heater smoked. The heater and cable burned out. The Teflon window sustained damage and needs replacing. From the RESET11N daily report for 27Jun00: 22:00GMT(26JUN) - Replaced the MWR window. DM |

Subject: | TWP/MWR/C2 - Excessive wet_window flags |
DataStreams: | twpmwrlosC2.b1, twpmwrtipC2.a1 |
Description: | The wet_window flag is set high more than expected from the measured value of liquid water path. This may be caused by dew or, if the heater sensivity is slightly misadjusted, by the diurnal variation in ambient temperature. The "wet_window" flag is an indicator of moisture on the MWR window which invalidates the measurements of precipitable water vapor and liquid water path. Sometimes this flag can be incorrectly set high or low if the heater sensivity is slightly misadjusted. The heater adjustment is a resistive device that is dependent on ambient temperature. Another indicator of moisture on the window is unreasonably high ( > 3*liquid_retrieval_rms_accuracy ) values of "liq". |
