Subject:
TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - Gndrad shutdown for tropical cylone
DataStreams:twpgndrad60sC3.b1, twpgndrad20sC3.a0, twpgndrad20sC3.a1, twpgndradC3.00
Description:
On Jan 3rd approximately 1000GMT the effects of a tropical cyclone started affecting the 
installed radiometer measurements at ARM/TWP/C3(Darwin) - both Skyrad and Gndrad.  On Jan 
4th 0740 GMT the Gndrad station was shutdown to avoid damage due to the close passing of 
this storm.  Station was restarted Jan 7th 0515GMT.
Suggestions: 
disregard data during this time period.  The data from start (20080103 1000) to 

20080104 0740 is likley good but remains suspect due to proximity of storm (precipiation and 
temperaure events) adversly affecting the instruments.
