Subject: | NSA/MWR/C1 - Possible loss of accuracy due to missing blower |
DataStreams: | nsamwrlosC1.b1, nsamwrtipC1.a1 |
Description: | On 7/09 the MWR blower failed. The blower prevents snow and liquid drop from accumulating on the window. Accumulation of snow or liquid results in a loss of accuracy of the instrument. The loss of accuracy has consequencies on the retrieved liquid water path and precipitable water vapor. Usually there will be an overestimation of liquid and vapor. The blower was repaired and reinstalled on 7/20. Between 7/9 and 7/20 the tkair variable is unavailable as well. |

Subject: | NSA/MWR/C1 - New software version (4.15) installed |
DataStreams: | nsamwrlosC1.b1, nsamwrtipC1.a1 |
Description: | A problem began with the installation of MWR.EXE version 4.12 in September 2002. The software had been upgraded from a "DOS" to a "Windows"-compiled program to address an earlier problem. The software upgrade corrected the earlier problem but introduced a new one that caused line-of-sight observing cycles to be skipped, a 15% reduction in the number of tip curves, and saturation of CPU usage. Software versions 4.13 and 4.14 also produced these problems. The new MWR software version (4.15) was installed on 9/15/2005. As a consequence of this upgrade, the tip curve frequency increased. The tip cycle time decreased from ~60s to ~50s. |
