Description: | The SGP.C1 AERI system clock was not being regularly checked and synched
with a time server between May 2001 and November 2001. When the problem
was identified and the clock was corrected, a time offset of 17 minutes
and 2 seconds (slow) was present.
The data available from the ARM Archive have been time corrected
by Dave Turner using a piece-wise linear function based on a comparison
of pressure data from the AERI and SMOS. Dave indicates "this results
in a good fit to the data" and "errors in the reported sample times are
reduced to approximately 1 minute or less. Given the nominal three minute
averaging period of the AERI, this should suffice for most applications."
Data between 20011019.1615-20011029.1621 did not need to be corrected
due to a series of events that caused the clock to be temporarily
synched and then revert back to the linear drift pattern.
Note, there are three other variables in the AERI data products which
report time: Time, timeHHMMSS and rawTimeHHMMSS. The data in these
variables were not modified, so these data will not agree with basetime
+ time_offset.
Also note, VAPs which use the AERI data as input were NOT reprocessed.
VAP data during the time period specified are questionable and should
be used with caution. |

Subject: | SGP/AERI/E14 - Failing interferometer |

Description: | The interferometer of the sgpE14 AERI system began to fail around 1 Aug 2007. In this
period of time, the interferometer was occasionally 'losing a fringe' and thus introducing
phase shift errors into the data. After this happened a number of times, the
interferometer would lock up and no data could be collected until site operations reset the instrument.
Not all of the data collected during this period are bad (only the samples that were
affected by a phase shift -- about 10% to 25% of data collected each month during the period
were bad) while the rest of the data is of good quality.
The instrument mentor has created Data Quality files that users can use to identify these
bad samples and exclude them from their analysis. Thus, the data for this period are
coded "suspect", because the lion's share of points are actually good but there is a fair
number of samples that are bad and should not be used. |

Description: | The AERI mechanical (Stirling Cycle) detector cooler exhibited
abnormal behavior during this time period which allowed the
detector temperature to fluctuate outside of the normal limits.
This cooler had successfully operated for over 21 months at
this point, well beyond the expected lifetime before
refurbishment. Only the longwave (channel 1) AERI data appears
to be effected as the shortwave (channel 2) detector is less
sensitive to changes in detector temperature. THE COOLER WAS
REPLACED AT 23:00 UTC ON 5 OCTOBER 1997 with a spare by UW
personnel who were on site for the WVIOP. |

Description: | It's windy. It's Oklahoma. A tumbleweed somehow manages
to fall into the AERI hatch and become lodged in the AERI
sky view position. The AERI collects spectra of the
tumbleweed until the problem is identified and corrected.
In later processing this was shown to effect the AERI
temperature retrievals during the period 18:00 - 22:00 UTC. |

Description: | At about 1600 UTC 30 September 1997 (970930), the CO2 fire suppression system
in the optical trailer went off and AERI-01 detected a local
cooling due to the colder air being forced out of the trailer. Over the next
few minutes, the CO2 accumulated outside the trailer causing lower transmission
to space in the 15 micron region and AERI-01 therfore detected
warmer temperatures closer to the surface (T profile decreases with altitude).
As more CO2 exited the trailer, the atmosphere at 15 microns became more and
more opaque and AERI looses nearly all responsivity in this region. AERI gradually
regains responsivity over the next 30 minutes or so as the CO2 diffuses.
The strongest absorbing on-line regions from ~650-680 wavenumbers are the last to
recover around 1700 UTC.
A graphical description of the effect described can be found at:
http://www.iop.sgp.arm.gov/~davet/970930/aeri01/index.html
Besides the enhanced CO2, the instrument is effected by the
rapid change of temperature of inside the optical trailer.
This makes all the AERI data during the period 970930
16:00 - 17:00 UTC questionable. |

Description: | Due to a software error in the real-time calibration software, the AERI-01 radiance data
between 10/96 and 6/97 were incorrectly calibrated. All of the AERI-01 radiance data
collected at the SGP central facility during this time period was corrupted by this software
error and were reprocessed to correct the radiance data. The error also affected all
derived products of the AERI radiance data. AERI data collected prior to and after this time
period was unaffected by this programming error.
The proper calibrated radiance spectra was recovered from the raw archived dataset through
post-processing. This reprocessing of the AERI data was carried out by the instrument
mentor at PNNL and confirmed independently by Univ. of Wisconsin. The reprocessed AERI
radiance data during the period 10/96 to 6/97 supercedes all previous versions of the AERI
data in all instances.
