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. |
