Subject: | OLI/MPL/M1 - Broken heater fan |
DataStreams: | olimplpolfsM1.b1, olimplpolfsM1.00
|
Description: | MPL data is not noticeably affected by the failure of the heater fan. For the time period
of the DQR, a comparison with ceilometer signal returns shows similar cloud base heights. |
Suggestions: | Data, especially at daytime, can potentially be used. Use ceilometer data. |
Measurements: | olimplpolfsM1.b1: - Overlap correction(overlap_correction)
- Number of laser pulses summed during averaging interval(shots_per_avg)
- Laser output energy per pulse(energy_monitor)
- Attenuated backscatter, co-pol(signal_return_co_pol)
- Number of detector channels(num_channels)
- Subtract from range_bins to yield range(range_offset)
- Background signal, cross pol data(background_signal_cross_pol)
- Polarization control voltage setting(polarization_control_voltage)
- Laboratory measured counts used to calculate the deadtime correction samples(deadtime_correction_counts)
- Number of bins stored in data block(num_bins)
- Maximum altitude retrieved from multichannel scalar card.(max_altitude)
- Polarization control enabled flag(polarization_control)
- Background signal standard deviation, cross-pol(background_signal_std_cross_pol)
- Preliminary cloud base height above ground level(preliminary_cbh)
- Detector Temperature(detector_temp)

- MCS mode register, value is either 167 or 199.(mcs_mode)
- Dead time correction flag(dead_time_corrected)
