Description:
The instrument was replaced on 20060104 but there was a problem with the calibration file. 
 The calibration issue has now been resolved and a request has been submitted to 
reprocess the data in the time range covered by this DQR.  When that has been accomplished, this 
DQR will be negated.

NIM/TSI/M1 - Reprocess: Data processing problem
DataStreams:nimtsicldmaskM1.a1, nimtsiskycoverM1.b1
Description:
Due to the high aerosol conditions at Niamey, the TSI appeared to be beyond the limits of 
processing the color JPEG image into cloud fraction values. Several attempts to adjust 
the sky filter values used to process the images did not yielded the desired results. The 
processed images indicate an opaque sky cover, even in the absence of clouds.

The problem was corrected by removing the neutral density filter from the lens and 
re-adjusting the sky filter values.

The data can be reprocessed.

SGP/WPDN/X1 - Reprocess: WPDN GPS has errors in station info
DataStreams:sgp30wpdngpsX1.c1
Description:
Starting 10/18/05, there are problems with the station information in the
sgp30wpdngpsX1.c1 data.   There are extra stations listed with shortened station 
abbreviations and shortened long names. The problem originated with the 10/18/05 input data which 
had corrupted input data.  The input file was
later corrected, but a config file which is used to keep track of new
stations continued to hold the incorrect station information. The data
itself is okay. There are just extra stations listed.
   
The data affected includes files from 10/18/05 - 08/27/06.  
Problem is reported in PIF P060829.1.

SGP/EBBR/E12 - Net Radiation, and Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes Incorrect
DataStreams:sgp5ebbrE12.b1, sgp15ebbrE12.b1, sgp30ebbrE12.b1
Description:
Rain entered into the net radiometer through a broken top dome.  Most of the net radiation 
values during the period are much too large, thus sensible and latent fluxes are also 
too large.
Measurements:sgp15ebbrE12.b1:
  • Net radiation(mv_q)

  • specific humidity(q)
