| DataStreams: | sgpaeriengineerC1.b1, sgpaerich1C1.b1, sgpaerisummaryC1.b1, sgpaerich2C1.b1 |
| Description: | On June 23, 2009, a mud dauber nest was found on the input port window of the AERI interferometer and was removed. The nest was likely responsible for significant signal loss. The nest was estimated to have covered close to 20 percent of the window. While the presence of the nest increases signal loss, the measurement values remain valid despite the obstruction. The input port obstruction due to the nest was consistent during calibration Black Body measurements as well as during sky measurements. The same may not apply during nest building or other insect activity within the instrument field of view. |
