Subject:
NSA/METTWR/C1 - All data from 10m Level Missing
DataStreams:nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:
The winch that lowers the tower booms failed.  Manual testing of the motor and winch 
allowed the booms to be lowered briefly and then raised back into position.  A heavy freezing 
rain/icing event added extra weight to the booms.  This extra weight was suspected as the 
cause as to why the 10m boom became disconnected.  After a new motor was installed and 
all booms were lowered and re-raised the 10m level came back on line.
Measurements:nsamettwr4hC1.b1:
  • 10m Average Calculated Dew Point(DP10M_AVG)
  • 10m Average QLI Reference Temperature(RefT10m_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Calculated Vapor Pressure(VP10M_STD)
  • 10m Average Relative Humidity(RH10M_AVG)
  • 10m Vector Averaged Wind Speed(WS10M_U_WVT)
  • 10m Average Calculated Vapor Pressure(VP10M_AVG)
  • 10m Average QLI Input Voltage(Volt10M_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Vector Averaged Wind Direction(WD10M_SDU_WVT)
  • 10m Average Temperature(T10M_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Relative Humidity(RH10M_STD)
  • 10m Arithmetic Mean Wind Speed(WS10M_S_WVT)
  • 10m Vector Averaged Wind Direction(WD10M_DU_WVT)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Calculated Dew Point(DP10M_STD)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Temperature(T10M_STD)

NSA/METTWR/C1 - Missing CMH data
DataStreams:nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:
CMH data are missing.  Corrosion in the serial data line connections caused a loss of 
communication with the CMH.
Measurements:nsamettwr4hC1.b1:
  • Chilled Mirror Calculated Vapor Pressure(VPCMH)
  • Chilled Mirror Calculated Relative Humidity(CMHRH)
  • Chilled Mirror Dew Point(CMHDP)
  • Chilled Mirror Temperature(CMHTemp)
  • Chilled Mirror Calculated Saturation Vapor Pressure(SatVPCMH)

NSA/METTWR/C1 - 10m level loss of power
DataStreams:nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:
The 10 meter instrument level lost power so all variables from this level are missing.
Measurements:nsamettwr4hC1.b1:
  • 10m Average Calculated Dew Point(DP10M_AVG)
  • 10m Average QLI Reference Temperature(RefT10m_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 10m Calculated Vapor Pressure(VP10M_STD)

Subject:
NSA/METTWR/C1 - 2m T/RH probe aspirator fan failed
DataStreams:nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:
The aspirator fan for the 2m level T/RH probe failed.  This caused higher than normal 
readings for temp and RH and artificially smoothed the data.
Measurements:nsamettwr4hC1.b1:
  • 2m Average Calculated Vapor Pressure(VP2M_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 2m Calculated Dew Point(DP2M_STD)

NSA/METTWR/C2 - 2m Temp/RH sensor blocked with snow
DataStreams:nsamettwr2hC2.b1
Description:
The 2m RH, Dew Point and Vapor Pressure values are incorrect due to the intake of the 
aspirated shield being blocked with snow and ice.  The RH% values are artificially larger 
than the 5m and Chilled Mirror values.
Measurements:nsamettwr2hC2.b1:
  • 2m Average Calculated Vapor Pressure(VP2m_AVG)
  • Standard Deviation of 2m Relative Humidity(RH2m_STD)

NSA/METTWR/C1 - Wind direction sensor frozen
DataStreams:nsamettwr4hC1.b1
Description:
After a power outage the 40m wind direction sensor was frozen.  Data from this sensor was 
not representative of the true winds.
Measurements:nsamettwr4hC1.b1:
  • 40m Vector Averaged Wind Direction(WD40M_DU_WVT)
  • Standard Deviation of 40m Vector Averaged Wind Direction(WD40M_SDU_WVT)
