Description: | The AERI hatch failed 3/1/02 and the hatch was covered with
plastic to keep the rain out. The data collected while the
hatch was covered with plastic may appear to be okay, but
should not be used for scientific study. The plastic totally
invalidates the AERI data calibrations. |

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. |

Description: | The spectrometer was periodically unable to transfer data to the computer. When this
occurred, the data was deleted and lost as new data filled the spectrometer's memory. All
existing data in this time period is good. However, much data is missing. For example, half
of channel 1 and three-quarters of channel 2 may be missing. The DSP card was failing
intermittantly and the problem was resolved when the card was replaced. |
