SGP/MWR/C1 - no air temperature signal
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
When the new blower was upgraded by Radiometrics and reinstalled on the MWR, the air 
temperature sensor failed to properly report. It was determined that the wires carrying the 
signal to the analog board did not conform to the standard expected by the upgraded blower. 
The problem was corrected by changing the wiring.

SGP/MWR/C1 - REPROCESS - Revised Retrieval Coefficients
DataStreams:sgp1mwravgC1.c1, sgp5mwravgC1.c1, sgpmwrlosC1.a1, sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1,
sgpqmemwrcolC1.c1
Description:
IN THE BEGINNING (June 1992), the retrieval coefficients used to derive the precipitable 
water vapor (PWV) and liquid water path (LWP) from the MWR brightness temperatures were 
based on the Liebe and Layton (1987) water vapor and oxygen absorption model and the Grant 
(1957) liquid water absorption model.  

Following the SHEBA experience, revised retrievals based on the more recent Rosenkranz 
(1998) water vapor and oxygen absorption models and the Liebe (1991) liquid waer absorption 
model were developed.  The Rosenkranz water vapor absorption model resulted a 2 percent 
increase in PWV relative to the earlier Liebe and Layton model.  The Liebe liquid water 
absorption model decreased the LWP by 10% relative to the Grant model.  However, the 
increased oxygen absorption caused a 0.02-0.03 mm (20-30 g/m2) reduction in LWP, which was 
particularly significant for low LWP conditions (i.e. thin clouds encountered at SHEBA).

Recently, it has been shown (Liljegren, Boukabara, Cady-Pereira, and Clough, TGARS v. 43, 
pp 1102-1108, 2005) that the half-width of the 22 GHz water vapor line from the HITRAN 
compilation, which is 5 percent smaller than the Liebe and Dillon (1969) half-width used in 
Rosenkranz (1998), provided a better fit to the microwave brightness temperature 
measurements at 5 frequencies in the range 22-30 GHz, and yielded more accurate retrievals.  
Accordingly, revised MWR retrieval coefficients have been developed using MONORTM, which 
utilizes the HITRAN compilation for its spectroscopic parameters.  These new retrievals 
provide 3 percent less PWV and 2.6 percent greater LWP than the previous retrievals based on 
Rosenkranz (1998).

Although the MWR data will be reprocessed to apply the new monortm-based retrievals, for 
most purposes it will be sufficient to correct the data using the following factors:

PWV_MONORTM = 0.9695 * PWV_ROSENKRANZ
LWP_MONORTM = 1.026  * LWP_ROSENKRANZ

PYE/M1 (Pt. Reyes)  4/08/2005, 1900**

** At Pt. Reyes, the original retrieval coefficients implemented in March 2005 were based 
on a version of the Rosenkranz model that had been modified to use the HITRAN half-width 
at 22 GHz and to be consistent with the water vapor continuum in MONORTM.  These 
retrievals yield nearly identical results to the MONORTM retrievals.  Therefore the Pt. Reyes 
data prior to 4/08/2005 may not require reprocessing.

SGP/MWR/C1 - New software version (4.15) installed
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
A problem began with the installation of MWR.EXE version 4.12 in July 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 08/04/2005. As a consequence of this 
upgrade, the tip curve frequency increased. The tip cycle time decreased from ~60s to 
~50s.

Description:
Shading problem first evident on the 22nd.  Overcast conditions during the previous week.  
The mostly clear day on 12/15/2005 shows no evidence of a shading problem.  During this 
period do not use diffuse or direct data between 1430 and 1900 UTC.  Maintenance on 
12/29/2005 resolved this issue.

SGP/MWR/C1 - Spikes in ambient temperature readings
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
There are intermittent spikes in the Tkair temperature (T ~ 400 K). On 7/28 the sensor 
was cleaned and the instrument power cycled following a power outage. Readings came back to 
normal.
Measurements:sgpmwrtipC1.a1:
  • Ambient temperature(tkair)

SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Shadowband misalignment (minor)
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE13.a0, sgpmfrsrE13.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE13.c1
Description:
There is a slight shading issue between 1430 and 1830 on the days covered by this DQR.  It 
is a very slight problem, if it is really a shading issue.  It is difficult to say with 
100% certainty as it stopped without documented maintenance.

SGP/MWR/C1/E14 - Freezing rain-Incorrect rain flag
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrlosE14.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1, sgpmwrtipE14.a1
Description:
Between 01/12 and 01/15 brightness temperatures show high values (Tb > 100 K) indicative 
of rain, however the wet_window flag is 0 (indicative of no rain). During that time there 
where freezing conditions with ice pellets that were not detected by the sensor. The high 
brightness temperatures may be due to melting ice on the window.
Measurements:sgpmwrtipE14.a1:
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)
sgpmwrtipC1.a1:
  • Water on Teflon window (1=WET, 0=DRY)(wet_window)

Description:
A refurbished head and Campbell logging system were installed at this site on Feb 2.  An 
incorrect program was loaded into the logger resulting in very noisy data until the 
correct program was loaded on March 18.  Avoid data during this period.

SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Shadowband misalignment
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE13.a0, sgpmfrsrE13.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE13.c1
Description:
Massive shading issue on 12/16 through 12/18.  It was obviously found and resolved on 
12/18.  On 12/22 it looks like the shadowband stops functioning altogether.  (It is likely it 
slipped on the motor shaft.)  It continues like this until 12/28 @ 1630 when an attempt 
was made fix the problem.  This was somewhat successful, but there is still a shading 
problem in the afternoon between 1730 and 2300 until 01/09/2008. 

Some data from 12/28/2007 - 01/09/2008 will be OK.  Don't use data between the hours 1730 
and 2300.  Avoid data from other dates described in this DQR.

SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Shadowband misalignment
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE13.a0, sgpmfrsrE13.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE13.c1
Description:
Between 20071216 and 20080225 there are four stretches where the instrument is not shading 
properly.  Those periods have been accurately designated in this DQR.  Data outside 
these ranges are OK.  Avoid using this instrument during times covered by this DQR.  The 
hemispheric data may be OK, but with other good choices (C1 MFRSR and NIMFR), it is suggested 
to just avoid E13.

SGP/MFRSR/E13 - Heater controller board failure
DataStreams:sgpmfrsrE13.a0, sgpmfrsrE13.b1, sgpmfrsrlangleyE13.c1, sgpmfrsrlangplotE13.c1
Description:
The heater controller board failed allowing the instrument head temperature to climb too 
high. The higher head temperatures affected the data.  Do not use data covered by this DQR.

Subject:
SGP/MWR/C1 - Increased noise in 31.4 GHz channel
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
The 31.4 GHz channel has been showing an increased level of noise which results in 
increased noise in the LWP retrievals. The instrument is tipping and all other parameters seem 
to be in the range. The elevate noise started in May, but it seems to have become slightly 
worse after summer. After November the noise level seems to have gone back to normal.
Measurements:sgpmwrtipC1.a1:
  • Total liquid water along zenith path using tip-derived brightness temperatures(liqtip)
  • 31.4 GHz sky brightness temperature derived from tip curve(tbsky31tip)
sgpmwrlosC1.b1:
  • Sky brightness temperature at 31.4 GHz(tbsky31)
  • Averaged total liquid water along LOS path(liq)
