Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Intermittent Pressure Sensor Failure |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1, twpsmet60sC3.a1
|
Description: | The Barometric Pressure sensor was intermittently failing at TWP site C3 Darwin. At times
there were large pressure fluctuations occurring on the order of 24 mb in a few minutes.
Times of large pressure fluctuations are readily apparent in the data. At these times
the data should be carefully analyzed before determining it's usefulness. In between the
periods of large fluctuations the readings appear to be stable. It is still suggested
that independent pressure data be obtained for comparison before use. |
Suggestions: | There is an Automatic Weather Station nearby that is opearted by the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology. It is suggested that pressure data be obtained from this site for
comparison to the SMET pressure data. |
