Subject:
TWP/QCRAD/C3 - GNDRAD shutdown for tropical cyclone
DataStreams:twpqcrad1longC3.s1, twpqcrad1longC3.c1, twpqcrad1longC3.s2, twpqcrad1longC3.c2
Description:
On Jan 3rd approximately 1000GMT the effects of a tropical cyclone started affecting the 
installed radiometer measurements at ARM/TWP/C3(Darwin) - both SKYRAD and GNDRAD.  On Jan 
4th, 0740 GMT the GNDRAD was shutdown to avoid damage due to the close passing of this 
storm. GNDRAD was restarted Jan 7th 0515GMT.
Suggestions: 
Disregard upwelling fluxes during this time period.  The data from 20080103 1000 to 

20080104 0740 is likely good but remains suspect due to proximity of storm (precipitation 
and temperature events) adversely affecting the instruments.
