Subject: | TWP/VCEIL/C2 - Nauru Vceil data suspect |
DataStreams: | twpvceil25kC2.b1, twpvceil25kC2.a1
|
Description: | During this period the ceilometer began producing a cross-talk warning. Since it is a
warning, some of the data are OK. However, the instrument began to be limited to detecting
clouds only about 2 km above the ground. |
Suggestions: | only use for boundary layer cloud studies. |
Measurements: | twpvceil25kC2.a1: - Altitude of highest signal(alt_highest_signal)
- Warning, alarm, and internal status information(status_string)
- Second lowest cloud base height(second_cbh)
- Distance to the center of the corresponding range bin(range)
- Detection status.(detection_status)
- Sum of detected and normalized backscatter(sum_backscatter)
- Third cloud base height(third_cbh)
- Percentage of nominal factory setting (0 to 999%)(receiver_sensitivity)
- Flag indicating aeri retrieval status(status_flag)
- Aerosol volume backscattering coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
- Vertical visibility(vertical_visibility)
