Subject:
TWP/VCEIL/C3 - low receiver sensitivity
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC3.b1
Description:
The ceilometer reported frequent receiver alarms. There are periods when the receiver 
sensitivity dropped to about 50%. The problem was corrected by replacing the instrument with 
a spare.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:twpvceil25kC3.b1:
  • Vertical visibility(vertical_visibility)
  • Aerosol volume backscattering coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
  • Third cloud base height(third_cbh)
  • Second lowest cloud base height(second_cbh)
  • Percentage of nominal factory setting (0 to 999%)(receiver_sensitivity)
  • Sum of detected and normalized backscatter(sum_backscatter)
  • Millivolts at internal ADC input (0 to 2500)(background_light)
  • Lowest cloud base height detected(first_cbh)
  • Altitude of highest signal(alt_highest_signal)
