SGP/RWP/I1 - Wind speed too small, directions likely bad due to incorrect beam control
DataStreams:sgp915rwpwindconI1.a1
Description:
two beams, sometimes three of the four tilted possible are incorrect due either to a phase 
shifter problem or improper control of the phase shifter.
Measurements:sgp915rwpwindconI1.a1:
  • Wind speed, W-to-E component, at altitude(u_wind)
  • Beam 3 radial wind speed(vel3)
  • Beam 4 radial wind speed(vel4)
  • Beam 1 radial wind speed(vel1)
  • Beam 2 radial wind speed(vel2)
  • Wind speed, S-to-N component, at altitude, derived from ETA model(v_wind)

Description:
See below for details of reprocessing that was completed on 20150109.  Original 
DQR category: 4 (Red, Incorrect).

-----------------------------------------------------------

The new phase shifter had the delay lines reversed, which resulted in the beams going in 
the wrong directions.  The speeds are correct and the directions are 180 deg off.  
Vertical velocities are ok

SGP/RWP/C1 - Reprocessed and Corrected: Instrument in non-standard mode for IOP
DataStreams:sgp915rwpwindconC1.a1
Description:
DATA REPROCESSED and CORRECTED: 

In the moment datastreams (precipmom and wind mom) from the 915 RWP, the snr variable, is 
not set to missing value when the SNR is invalid but the other moments have valid values. 
At these points the SNR has a value of 32767. The ingest was updated and the data were 
reprocessed to fix the issue.

The data were Archived in July 2016. Please retrieve the reprocessed data for use in your 
analysis.

--- ORIGINAL DQR DESCRIPTION ---
---------------------------------------------------


The SGP.C1 915RWP was operated in a non-standard mode during the Nocturnal
Flux IOP (approximately the month of September). The profiler was placed into a constant 
high temporal and spatial resolution mode rather than alternating between modes as it does 
routinely. 30 min averages were produced (usually 60 min) at a 60 m gate resolution for 
both winds and RASS. 

Data were processed and archived, but the processing algorithm interpreted this data as 2 
different power levels per hourly sample rather than 30 minute samples at the same power 
level.  Data will be reprocessed.
