Subject:
TWP/RL/C3 - Invalid depolarization channel data
DataStreams:twp10rlprofdep1turnC3.c0, twprlC3.a0, twprlprofmerge1turnC3.c0
Description:
The depolarization channel was not working properly during the period in question due to a 
failure of the high voltage power supply for the PMT.
Suggestions: 
Do not use data from the VAPs listed above during the effected period.
Measurements:twprlprofmerge1turnC3.c0:
  • Glue coefficient (offset) for high depolarization channel(depolarization_counts_high_glue_coef_offset)
  • Glue coefficient (slope) for high depolarization channel(depolarization_counts_high_glue_coef_slope)
  • Mean electronic background subtracted from the high channel depolarization
    analog signal(electronic_background_depolarization_analog_high)
  • Count rate in the high depolarization channel(depolarization_counts_high)
more
twprlC3.a0:
  • Summed analog signal in the high depolarization channel(depolarization_analog_high)
  • Count rate in the high depolarization channel(depolarization_counts_high)

  • Cloud mask(cloud_mask)
  • Altitude of cloud top used in retrieval(cloud_top_height)
  • Cloud depth(cloud_depth)
