CO2 Suppression of AERI Spectra

At about 1600 UTC 30 September 1997 (970930), the CO2 fire suppression system
in the optical trailer went off and AERI-01 detected a local
cooling due to the colder air being forced out of the trailer. Over the next 
few minutes, the CO2 accumulated outside the trailer causing lower transmission 
to space in the 15 micron region and AERI-01 therfore detected
warmer temperatures closer to the surface (T profile decreases with altitude). 
As more CO2 exited the trailer, the atmosphere at 15 microns became more and 
more opaque and AERI looses nearly all responsivity in this region. AERI gradually
regains responsivity over the next 30 minutes or so as the CO2 diffuses. 
The strongest absorbing on-line regions from ~650-680 wavenumbers are the last to 
recover around 1700 UTC. 

A graphical description of the effect described can be found at:
http://www.iop.sgp.arm.gov/~davet/970930/aeri01/index.html

Besides the enhanced CO2, the instrument is effected by the
rapid change of temperature of inside the optical trailer.
This makes all the AERI data during the period 970930 
16:00 - 17:00 UTC questionable.

Problem fixed itself when trailer temperatures returned to normal.
