SGP/SONDE/C1 - Incorrect Surface Pressure
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
It appears that the operator made a typographical error when entering the
surface pressure.  The file has 987.0 hPa and it probably should be 978.0
which would be consistent with the first sample provided by the radiosonde
(977.3 hPa), the surface pressures recorded for the adjacent soundings, and
the THWAPS pressure.

Because the sounding altitude is calculated assuming the surface pressure
is correct, the altitude values for the entire flight and the ascent rate 
values for the first 30 seconds of the sounding will be incorrect.

SGP/SONDE/C1 - Questionable RH: CF sounding 11/13/2002:2044
DataStreams:sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:
The RH data in this sounding is erratic between 2km and 10 km, oscillating between 
reasonable values (~40%RH) and zero.  I certainly doubt that this is a real, heretofore 
unreported, atmospheric phenomenon so I have to conclude that something is probably wrong with 
the sensor.  I have not seen this behavior before.  One would have to look at the 
absolutely raw RH data to explore further.

SGP/MWR/B4/C1 - LOS cycle skipping
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosB4.a1, sgpmwrlosB4.b1, sgpmwrlosC1.a1, sgpmwrlosC1.b1
Description:
When MWR software version 4.12 was installed at the SGP, it was observed 
that the MWRs at CF and BF4 skip line-of-sight (LOS) observing cycles. In LOS mode, the 
software begins an observing cycle at 0, 20, and 40 seconds after the minute to provide 3 
LOS cycles per minute. If a cycle is delayed so that it takes more than 20 seconds to 
complete, then the next start time is missed, the cycle is skipped, and the data that would 
have been acquired are lost.  

It was demonstrated that the interaction with the IRT at CF slowed the MWR observing cycle 
noticeably and contributed significantly to the LOS cycle skipping. The IRT was removed 
from the MWR on 5 November 2002 and the LOS cycle skipping at the CF was resolved.  The 
IRT data are now available in a new separate datastream: sgpirtC1.a1 (and soon 
sgpirt2sC1.a1).

The BF4 cycle skipping may have resulted from a combination of an additional air 
temperature sensor on this instrument and the use of a fiber optic cable.  However, the cycle 
skipping on this instrument appears to have abated without modifications to the instrument 
configuration.

DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.a1, sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgp1mwravgC1.c1, sgp5mwravgC1.c1
Description:
Several related and recurring problems with the SGP MWRs have been
reported dating back to 1999.  These problems were due to the
occurrence of blackbody signals (in counts) that were half of those
expected. The symptoms included noisy data (especially at Purcell),
spikes in the data (especially at Vici), negative brightness
temperatures, and apparent loss of serial communication between the
computer and the radiometer, which results in a self-termination of the
MWR program (especially at the CF).

Because these all initially appeared to be hardware-related problems,
the instrument mentor and SGP site operations personnel (1) repeatedly
cleaned and replaced the fiber optic comm. components, (2) swapped
radiometers, (3) sent radiometers back to Radiometrics for evaluation
(which has not revealed any instrument problems), and (4) reconfigured
the computer's operating system.  Despite several attempts to isolate
and correct it, the problem persisted.

It became apparent that some component of the Windows98 configuration
conflicted with the DOS-based MWR program or affected the serial port
or the contents of the serial port buffer. This problem was finally
corrected by upgrading the MWR software with a new Windows-compatible
program.

SGP/MWR/C1 - REPROCESS - Revised Retrieval Coefficients
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.a1, sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1, sgp1mwravgC1.c1, sgp5mwravgC1.c1,
sgpqmemwrcolC1.c1
Description:
IN THE BEGINNING (June 1992), the retrieval coefficients used to derive the precipitable 
water vapor (PWV) and liquid water path (LWP) from the MWR brightness temperatures were 
based on the Liebe and Layton (1987) water vapor and oxygen absorption model and the Grant 
(1957) liquid water absorption model.  

Following the SHEBA experience, revised retrievals based on the more recent Rosenkranz 
(1998) water vapor and oxygen absorption models and the Liebe (1991) liquid waer absorption 
model were developed.  The Rosenkranz water vapor absorption model resulted a 2 percent 
increase in PWV relative to the earlier Liebe and Layton model.  The Liebe liquid water 
absorption model decreased the LWP by 10% relative to the Grant model.  However, the 
increased oxygen absorption caused a 0.02-0.03 mm (20-30 g/m2) reduction in LWP, which was 
particularly significant for low LWP conditions (i.e. thin clouds encountered at SHEBA).

Recently, it has been shown (Liljegren, Boukabara, Cady-Pereira, and Clough, TGARS v. 43, 
pp 1102-1108, 2005) that the half-width of the 22 GHz water vapor line from the HITRAN 
compilation, which is 5 percent smaller than the Liebe and Dillon (1969) half-width used in 
Rosenkranz (1998), provided a better fit to the microwave brightness temperature 
measurements at 5 frequencies in the range 22-30 GHz, and yielded more accurate retrievals.  
Accordingly, revised MWR retrieval coefficients have been developed using MONORTM, which 
utilizes the HITRAN compilation for its spectroscopic parameters.  These new retrievals 
provide 3 percent less PWV and 2.6 percent greater LWP than the previous retrievals based on 
Rosenkranz (1998).

Although the MWR data will be reprocessed to apply the new monortm-based retrievals, for 
most purposes it will be sufficient to correct the data using the following factors:

PWV_MONORTM = 0.9695 * PWV_ROSENKRANZ
LWP_MONORTM = 1.026  * LWP_ROSENKRANZ

TWP/C3 (Darwin)     6/30/2005, 2100
PYE/M1 (Pt. Reyes)  4/08/2005, 1900**

** At Pt. Reyes, the original retrieval coefficients implemented in March 2005 were based 
on a version of the Rosenkranz model that had been modified to use the HITRAN half-width 
at 22 GHz and to be consistent with the water vapor continuum in MONORTM.  These 
retrievals yield nearly identical results to the MONORTM retrievals.  Therefore the Pt. Reyes 
data prior to 4/08/2005 may not require reprocessing.

SGP/MWR/C1 - New software version (4.15) installed
DataStreams:sgpmwrlosC1.b1, sgpmwrtipC1.a1
Description:
A problem began with the installation of MWR.EXE version 4.12 in July 2002. The software 
had been upgraded from a "DOS" to a "Windows"-compiled program to address an earlier 
problem.  The software upgrade corrected the earlier problem but introduced a new one that 
caused line-of-sight observing cycles to be skipped, a 15% reduction in the number of tip 
curves, and saturation of CPU usage. Software versions 4.13 and 4.14 also produced these 
problems.

The new MWR software, version 4.15, was installed on 08/04/2005. As a consequence of this 
upgrade, the tip curve frequency increased. The tip cycle time decreased from ~60s to 
~50s.

Description:
Vaisala has confirmed ARM findings of an apparent dry bias in the
relative humidity measured by RS-80H radiosondes.  The cause of
the dry bias is thought to be contamination of the humidity sensor
by volatile organic substances originating from some plastic parts
of the radiosonde.  The amount of contamination is a function of
the time between the date of sonde manufacture and its use.  All
RS-80H sondes manufactured before week 34 of 1998 will show this
bias.  After week 34 of 1998 Vaisala changed its packaging to
reduce, but not eliminate the contamination problem.

Starting with RS-80 radiosonde manufactured in late June 2000 Vaisala
enclosed the sensor boom in an inert plastic shield, thereby eliminating
the contamination that caused the dry bias.

Starting in May 2001 at the SGP, May 2002 at the TWP, and later 2002
at the NSA, ARM has moved to using RS-90 radiosondes.  These sondes
are not subject to the contaminatino that caused the dry bias.

Vaisala is in the process of developing an algorithm that can be 
used to estimate the correct RH from knowledge of the sonde age.
All of the ARM sounding data have sufficient metadata available
to apply the correction.

Additionally, ARM has funded a Science Team effort (Milosevich) to
develop a 'best' correction algorithm for the RS-80 radiosonde humidity
data.  When completed this algorithm will allow us to reprocess the
accumulated RS-80 data and produce a new data platform with what we
hope will be more accurate data.
