Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - direct normal pyhrheliometer (NIP)shaded by WWRp |
DataStreams: | nsaskyradC1.00, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | Direct normal radiation values drop nearly to zero from about 1515 GMT - 1525 GMT from 4/05 to 4/16 2004. Field observation reveals the WWRp is shading the NIP instrument during this time. This shading event was expected to occur several months after the soltice as well but archive data showed no shading on or around 8/30/2004. The direct normal instrument was apparently only shaded during the time period noted. |

Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - itermittant IRT bias |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad60sC1.b1 |
Description: | A problem with the SKYRAD IRT that itermittantly produced a gradual increase in the sky temperature measurement then a sudden correction, as compared to AERI, appears to have been caused by a combination of a failing IR detector, a poor signal cable, a contaminated (with condensation or frost) mirror or lens, and low ambient temperatures. The positive bias was apparently not consistant in either frequency or duration but on days when the unusual behavior is observed, it usually occurred from about 00:00 to 06:00 local time. The instrument was repaired and recalibrated and the signal cable replaced. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - Chilled Mirror transmit logic board chipset unsuited for Arctic |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | Data missing due to problems with manufacturer's transmit logic board chipset. They were generic chips not rated for Arctic temperatures. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - Incorrect Maximum for Precip Values |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | The max values for cumulative rain sum of 99 mm and the rain rate of 999 mm/hr are incorrect. In communication with the manufacturer it has been found that the manual was in error. The actual max values of the cumulative rain sum is 99.99 mm and the rain rate is 999.99 mm/hr. |

Subject: | NSA/METTWR/C1 - Data 1-minute behind |
DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.b1 |
Description: | Data from the Barometer, Chilled Mirror Hygrometer and the Present Weather Sensor were one-minute behind due to timing problems collecting data from the Serial Data Multiplexer that handled these sensors. |

DataStreams: | nsamettwr4hC1.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. |
