DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.a1, twpsmet60sC2.b1, twpsmetC2.00 |
Description: | Beginning on December 24, Anemometer #1 (there are two anemometers on the SMET stand) occasionally reported wind speed values that were low relative to the other sensor. It is clear from the data that the low reading here is the anomalous one. |

Subject: | TWP/C2/SMET Temperature spike |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.a1, twpsmet60sC2.b1 |
Description: | There was a brief -4 C spike in the temperature at approximately 21.5 Z on December 3. This spike also showed up in the vapor pressure which is calculated from the temperature and relative humidity. |

Subject: | TWP/C2/SMET - Pressure sensitivity to rain |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.a1, twpsmet60sC2.b1 |
Description: | The pressure behaves anomalously during rain events - even very mild ones. Normally, the pressure undergoes a smooth semi-diurnal oscillation with little higher frequency variability. However, during and shortly after rain events, the pressure signal exhibits abrupt changes - this sort of behavior has occasionally been observed at Manus but not with the regularity seen here. Examples of this behaviour occur on (date in the form YYYYMMDD): 19981212 19981215 19981216 19981217 19981223 19981224 19981225 19981230 19981231 |

Subject: | TWP/C2 Installation |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.a1, twpsmet60sC2.b1, twpsmetC2.00 |
Description: | The Nauru ARCS was installed during the period September-November 1998. Data were being collected by the end of October, but for the first several weeks of November, the site was undergoing considerable change, so data from that period should be used with caution. The official site dedication occured on November 20. Most on-site activity ended following the dedication so we will consider November 20 to be the beginning of the Nauru operations. The last members of the installation team left Nauru on November 24. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C2 - Negative rainfall rates |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.b1 |
Description: | Due to limitations of the Zeno dataloggers all voltage measurements from the optical rain gauge (ORG) were converted to rainfall rates. This resulted in negative values for rain rates. Any value below 0.10 mm/hr should be considered to be 0 mm/hr. New dataloggers alleviated this problem. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C2 - Reprocess: Barometric Data Changed from hPa to kPa |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.b1 |
Description: | Barometric pressure data was converted from hPa to kPa in order to standardize the measurement units among ARM sites and to conform to accepted standard units determined by the scientific community. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C2 - Reprocess: Tipping bucket rain gauge added |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC2.b1 |
Description: | A tipping bucket rain gauge was added to the TWP.C2 SMET suite of instruments on 20061129. Effective 20060926, two new variables (count and rain amount) were added to the end of the twpsmet60sC2.b1 datastream. Between 9/26 and 11/29, the data for these two variables are filled with zeros. Users should not use the data during this period as the zeros are not representative of the rain fall at the site. When reprocessing of this datastream occurs these variables will be added for the 19981021-20060926 and data from 19981021-20061129 will be filled with -9999 (missing). |
