Subject:
NSA/SKYRAD/C2 - IRT measurements during precipitation events
DataStreams:nsaskyrad60sC2.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 (nsapwsC2.b1) data to determine timing of precip events.
Measurements:nsaskyrad60sC2.a1:
  • sky_ir_temp
  • sky_ir_temp_std
  • sky_ir_temp_max
  • sky_ir_temp_min
