TWP/SMET/C3 - Reprocess: Tipping bucket rain gauge added
DataStreams:twpsmet60sC3.b1
Description:
A tipping bucket rain gauge was added to the SMET suite of instruments effective 20060926. 
 Two new variables (count and rain amount) were added at the end of the twpsmet60sC1.b1 
datastream.  When reprocessing of this datastream occurs these variables will be added 
with -9999 (missing) as the value for dates prior to gauge installation.
Measurements:twpsmet60sC3.b1:
  • base time(base_time)

Subject:
TWP/VCEIL/C3 - standard instrument installed
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC3.b1
Description:
A spare ceilometer without the tropics window option was installed. The manufacturer 
recommends the tropics window be used at +/- 25 deg lattitude to prevent direct solar 
radiation into the laser optics when the instrument pointed at zenith. No significant signal 
degradation is apparent during the autumnal equinox but, as a precaution, the unit was 
replaced with the original with a tropics window.
Measurements:twpvceil25kC3.b1:
  • Percentage of nominal factory setting (0 to 999%)(laser_pulse_energy)
  • Vertical visibility(vertical_visibility)
  • Aerosol backscatter coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
  • Backscatter sum(sum_backscatter)
  • Laser temperature(laser_temperature)
  • Millivolts at internal ADC input (0 to 2500)(background_light)

TWP/MMCR/C3 - Reprocess:   Height Error
DataStreams:twpmmcrmomC3.00, twpmmcrmomC3.b1, twpmmcrspecmomC3.a0
Description:
A timing error was found in the PIRAQ MMCR's.  It resulted in recorded heights being too 
high for each radar mode by the following amounts: 
   Mode 1: 24.8756 m too high
   Mode 2: 25.6249 m too high
   Mode 3: 33.1176 m too high
   Mode 4: 33.1176 m too high
Range gate spacing was not affected.
Measurements:twpmmcrspecmomC3.a0:
  • Height of Center of Each Range Bin(Heights)

twpmmcrmomC3.00:
  • Raw data stream - documentation not supported(raw)

twpmmcrmomC3.b1:
  • Array of heights for each power(heights)
