Subject: | MAO/AETH/NEPHELOMETER/PASS/PSAP/S1 - Gradual flow disruption through the Impactor affecting cut off. |
DataStreams: | maoaospsap3wS1.b1, maoaospsap3wS1.01
|
Description: | A gradual flow blockage in a downstream MFC prevented the design flow going through the
Impactor. This could affect the size cutoff in the 1-10 um cut sizes. Presumably, the
size cutoff is somewhat larger, but this was not determined. |

|
Description: | Data Gaps > 1h due to Tr<0.7, pump turned off, etc. There were MANY gaps this month due to
biomass burning (multiple filter changes). Also, the sonde Operators apparently changed
PSAP filters without resetting the transmission or resetting it the wrong way. Multiple
periods of incorrect data have been flagged in the Mentor QA/QC sets |

Subject: | MAO/PSAP/S1 - Power disruptions frequent filter changes |
DataStreams: | maoaospsap3wS1.b1, maoaospsap3wS1.01
|
Description: | Data when Tr<0.7 should not be used. There were multiple biomass burn issues this month.
Filters could not be changed frequently enough. There were frequent power failures and
these seemed to disrupt the data for 30-60 s longer than the automatic processing could
handle. These disruptions have been flagged. The time periods flagged in this DQR are
data interruptions longer than 1-h regardless of cause. |
