| Description: | WEATHER LOGS FOR TLCV - 2000
The following logs are for January 01 - December 31 , 2000. Each day is divided
into 3 approximately equal intervals and given a simple description of sky
conditions within the TLCV field of view. These descriptions are intended to
be used as a search tool for selecting Time Lapse Cloud Video (TLCV) images
and not to provide cloud classifications. For classifications, visit the SGP
weather logs. These simple descriptions are the following:
Clear (Clr): Essentially cloud free.
Mostly Clear (MClr): A few clouds are evident, but generally cloud free.
Scattered Clouds (Scat): Clouds are present, but generally not too persistent
or dense.
Partly Cloudy (Pcldy): Similar to Scattered Clouds but generally more dense or
persistent.
Mostly Cloudy (Mcldy): Heavier clouds throughout much of the interval.
Cloudy (Cldy): Fairly dense cloud cover.
Explanation of notes:
Note #1 : The recording system began suffering tracking problems on occasion;
this resulted in picture breakup that is apparent in the compressed video.
Note #2 : Condensation within the optical dome.
Note #3 : Early in the TLCV deployment the automatic white balance of the
camera was defaulted to 'on' after power dropouts; this was corrected in Feb
1998, but before this sometimes resulted in excessively green or grey video.
Note #4 : Early in the TLCV deployment the z-axis stage positioner allowed the
camera to slip down slightly within the TLCV enclosure due to wind buffeting.
This caused the rim of the glass dome through which the camera views to come
into the TLCV field of view near the edges of the image.
Note #5 : During the course of a year, the shadowband must be reset occasionally;
this note indicates that the positioning is slightly incorrect.
Final Note: beginning in August, 2000, a slight 'banding' within the images
becomes apparent; this is quite mild early on and becomes somewhat more
bothersome as the year proceeds. For unexplained reasons, this appears to
have corrected itself at the beginning of 2001.
