Subject:
TWP/CEIL/C3 - Reduced sensitivity to high clouds
DataStreams:twpceilC3.b1
Description:
The instrument produced a significant number of optical cross-talk warnings and displayed 
a reduced capacity to detect high clouds.  The internal cables were inspected, the 
compensation fiber and optics monitor were replaced, the crosstalk compensation was adjusted, 
and the system tested with an optical termination hood, all with no improvement.  While 
waiting for a new receiver board, receiver ribbon cable, and compensation fiber cable from 
Vaisala, a spare ceilometer with a standard, "non-tropics", window was installed.
