Subject:
TWP/VCEIL/C1 - Compensation fiber
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC1.b1
Description:
The VCEIL was reporting a "receiver optical cross-talk compensation is poor" warning. The 
window was cleaned and the instrument was power-cycled. The problem was corrected when 
the compensation fiber was replaced and ants were removed from communication connector.  
Cloud detection was impaired.
Suggestions: 
Data is suspect when status_flag = W.
Measurements:twpvceil25kC1.b1:
  • Percentage of nominal factory setting (0 to 999%)(laser_pulse_energy)
  • Percentage of nominal factory setting (0 to 999%)(receiver_sensitivity)
  • Lowest cloud base height detected(first_cbh)
  • Third cloud base height(third_cbh)
  • Altitude of highest signal(alt_highest_signal)
  • Aerosol volume backscattering coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
  • Vertical visibility(vertical_visibility)
  • Millivolts at internal ADC input (0 to 2500)(background_light)
  • Second lowest cloud base height(second_cbh)
  • Sum of detected and normalized backscatter(sum_backscatter)
