GRW/AOS/M1 - CPC TEC failure
DataStreams:grwaosM1.a1
Description:
The thermal electric cooler, which controls the temperature in the Condensation Particle 
Counter, failed. A new TEC was mailed to GRW. The TEC was replaced and the CPC was working 
again on Jan. 15th, 2010.

GRW/AOS/M1 - Data processing problem
DataStreams:grwnoaaaosM1.b1, grwaosM1.a1
Description:
The AOS data was reprocessed for the AMF, SGP and NSA sites. There was an error in the 
processing of the corrections for the PSAP absorption signal such that a low pass filter was 
implemented for the scattering data used in these corrections.The difference between the 
corrected and previous data is < 0.05 Mm-1 (below the instrument detection limit) and 
should not have a significant effect on the previous data. Data will be reprocessed at a 
later time when more significant changes to the data processing are implemented.

GRW/AOS/M1 - Discontinue fRH hygroscopic growth measurements
DataStreams:grwnoaaaosM1.b1
Description:
The chopper motor in the reference or dry nephelometer started to fail, which meant that 
it wasn't rotating at the correct rpm. The instrument gave erroneous data. 

The wet neph was swapped for the dry neph and the humidified nephelometer measurements 
were shut down. The neph motors were replaced at the end of the deployment so that both 
nephs will be operating for GVAX.

GRW/AOS/M1 - CPC undercounting
DataStreams:grwnoaaaosM1.b1, grwaosM1.a1
Description:
The CPC was undercounting by about 10-20 percent relative to the CCN. After cleaning the 
CPC and replacing the butanol, the signal increased to above that of the CCN.

Increase CPC signal so that it equals the CCN signal at the maximum SS value. The 
corrected signal will represent relative and not an absolute particle concentration.
