Subject:
NSA/MPL/C1 - Detector Failure
DataStreams:nsamplpolC1.b1
Description:
Beginning 12/25, the signal return displayed serious aliasing, reflection, or ringing of 
the detector, with a highly repetitive pattern repeating six or more times within the 
lowest 15 km.  On 01/02, the detector became very difficult to put into any type of operating 
condition. When it did operate, the "aliased" signal pattern was still present.

The detector was replaced.
Suggestions: 
Do not use these data.
Measurements:nsamplpolC1.b1:
  • Laser output energy per pulse(energy_monitor)
  • Attenuated backscatter(signal_return)
  • Laser Temperature(laser_temp)
  • Background signal(background_signal)
  • Background signal standard deviation(background_signal_std)
