Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Upper Wind Sensor Data Questionable |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The wind_up vs. wind_low wind directions diverged, with the differences between the two eventually reached 45 degrees. The Upper sensor was found to be mis-aligned and loose. |

Subject: | TWP/SMET/C3 - Wind Speed data contain offset due to induced voltage |
DataStreams: | twpsmet60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The marine model of the RM Young wind sensor needs twisted pair shielded cable. The manufacturer did not originally supply the pigtail with twisted pair shielded cable. Use of twisted pair shielded cable for the rest of the cable run to the logger was also not specified. This caused an induced voltage in the wind speed line from the wind direction excitation. The induced voltage varied from sensor to sensor and probably changed anytime the cable was replaced or parts of the wind sensor were repaired or replaced. The induced voltage has been seen to vary from 0.15 m/s to as much as 1.08 m/s. |
