Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - ORG data noisy due to degraded ground |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | SMET Rain Data began to be noisy during December 2005 and the problem slowly became worse over time so that in February 2006 the ORG was reporting with a constant background value of around 0.10 mm/hr rain rate. ORG voltage showed a near constant value above the 85mV threshold. The ground for the ORG had become degraded and was lost due to corrosion. |

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). |

Subject: | FKB/MET/M1 - Reprocess: ORG Data has very small rainrate values |
DataStreams: | fkbmetM1.b1 |
Description: | The ORG data is collected via analog signal and not digital. Therefore, we continuously collect data even when no rain is occurring. We also capture small events such as leaves, large bugs, dust, etc blowing through the measurement path. Because this discrete event occurs quickly the value is usually captured for 1 or 2 seconds. This value is then averaged to the minute producing rainrate on the order of .009 mm/hr or less. These values are not indicative of rain and should be removed from the record or summing over long periods can bias the climate record. We are reprocessing the data to remove these small values and are adjusting the collection program to remove them before ingest. |
