Subject:
NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - IRT measurements during precipitation events
DataStreams:nsaskyrad60sC1.a1
Description:
The IRT measurement of sky/cloud temperature was in question during precipitation events 
because rain or snow could accumulate in the upward-pointed lens barrel. This was 
corrected by reorienting the IRT to measure the sky temperature as reflected by a gold mirror.
Suggestions: 
Use present weather sensor (nsapwsC1.b1) data to
determine timing of precip events.
Measurements:nsaskyrad60sC1.a1:
  • sky_ir_temp
  • sky_ir_temp_max
  • sky_ir_temp_std
  • sky_ir_temp_min
