| Subject: | TWP/MWR/C3 - Instrument failure, Power outage |
| DataStreams: | twpmwrC3.00, twpmwrlosC3.a1, twpmwrlosC3.b1, twpmwrtipC3.a1
|
| Description: | A lightning strike sent the MWR offline. The radiometer suffered extensive damage, was
removed from the site and sent to the vendor for repair. A spare radiometer was sent to the
TWP/C3 site and was installed on 12/07. However, some hardaware communication issues
prevented data collection until 12/10. |
