SGP/RLPROF/C1 - Reduced signal due to partially closed laser shutter
DataStreams:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1
Description:
The laser shutter was partially closed during the period in question. This resulted in a 
reduction in the sensitivity of all detection channels.
Measurements:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1:
  • Linear depolarization ratio profile(dep)
  • Aerosol extinction coefficient(ext)
  • Aerosol optical depth profiles at 355 nm(aod_profile)
  • surface pressure(pressure)
  • Aerosol backscatter coefficient at 355 nm(bscat)
  • aod_max_height
  • bscat_err
  • Column precip water vapor(pwv)
  • dep_err
  • Precipitable water vapor observed by the microwave radiometer(pwv_mwr)
  • mr_err

SGP/RLPROF/C1 - Reduced SNR due to partial laser blockage
DataStreams:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1
Description:
The laser output was partially blocked. This resulted in reduced SNR in all detection 
channels.
Measurements:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1:
  • Linear depolarization ratio profile(dep)
  • Aerosol extinction coefficient(ext)
  • Aerosol optical depth profiles at 355 nm(aod_profile)

Subject:
SGP/RLPROF/C1 - Invalid data due to hatch closure
DataStreams:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1
Description:
The outgoing beam was completely blocked by the hatch. As a result, the data contain no 
valid atmospheric signals.
Measurements:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1:
  • Linear depolarization ratio profile(dep)
  • Aerosol extinction coefficient(ext)
  • Aerosol optical depth profiles at 355 nm(aod_profile)

SGP/RLPROF/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Incorrect units
DataStreams:sgp10rlprofbe1newsC1.c1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

The units for water vapor mixing-ratio related variables in the rlprofbe1news VAP were 
incorrectly reported as g/km instead of g/kg. The netcdf files were modified and the data 
were reprocessed to address incorrect units issue.
