TWP/TSI/C3 - Missing data due to Mentor Activities
DataStreams:twptsiC3.00, twptsiskycoverC3.a1, twptsiskycoverC3.b1, twptsiskyimageC3.a1
Description:
Darwin TSI on-board image collection and processing
had been turned off for Instrument Mentor to make
fine tuning adjustments. Mentor then forgot to turn
the on-board image collection and processing back
on.  All data for this time period is missing and
unrecoverable.

TWP/TSI/C3 - Metadata Errors in NetCDF Header
DataStreams:twptsiskycoverC3.a1, twptsiskycoverC3.b1
Description:
The value of "sample_int" reported in the netCDF header is
incorrect.  The correct sampling interval is 30 seconds.

The maximum values for the variable "sunny" is incorrect.  
It should be 1, not 100 as documented in the netCDF header. 
Users should disregard the "qc_sunny" flag during this
period of time and apply their own qc check if desired.

The minimum value for the variable "solar.altitude" is
incorrect. It should be -90, not 10 as documented in the
netCDF header.  Users should disregard the "qc_solar.altitude"
flag during this period of time and apply their own qc check
if desired.

  • Time offset of tweaks from base_time(time_offset)
  • Sun altitude above horizon(solar.altitude)
  • Sunshine meter(sunny)

TWP/TSI/C3 - poor images
DataStreams:twptsicldmaskC3.a1, twptsiskycoverC3.b1, twptsiskyimageC3.a1
Description:
The resolution of TSI images were very poor and the colors were wrong.  The clear sky 
appeared a reddish-brown during the day causing the processed image to be 100% opaque. The 
problem was corrected when the instrument was power cycled.
Measurements:twptsiskycoverC3.b1:
  • Pixel count: number opaque in horizon area(region.horizon.count.opaque)
  • Pixel count: number total between horizon and processed circle(count.sub.proczen)
  • Pixel count: number total indeterminant(count.unknown)
  • Pixel count: number total opaque(count.opaque)

TWP/TSI/C3 - camera failure
DataStreams:twptsiskycoverC3.b1, twptsiskyimageC3.a1
Description:
The TSI image was out of focus due to condensation on the camera lens and PC board that 
led to camera failure. The problem was corrected by replacing the camera with a spare and 
adjusting the shadowband.
Measurements:twptsiskycoverC3.b1:
  • Pixel count: number opaque in horizon area(region.horizon.count.opaque)
  • Pixel count: number total between horizon and processed circle(count.sub.proczen)
