ENA/UHSAS/C1 - Problem with time fields
DataStreams:enaaosuhsasC1.a1
Description:
During the ENA deployment, the UHSAS instrument clock was not synced with a time server. I 
used a comparison of the peaks in the UHSAS data and the CPC or the PSAP data to 
determine how far off the clock was.  The UHSAS was always within ~2 minutes of the other 
instruments and the CPU it was attached to.  Starting from 2/18/2014 the UHSAS was ~ 45 
seconds. slow.  It gradually got faster and around 6/2014 it was within seconds of the CPC.  It 
continued in that direction and gradually became slower than the CPC or PSAP.  On 
1/22/2015 the UHSAS was ~120 seconds slower than the PSAP.  At 16:05:00 1/22/2015 the UHSAS time 
was manually set to the Unit 2 CPU time.  This was done remotely and apparantly only to 
within about 20 seconds.  

A  Document  shows the times of the peaks used to determine the time 
difference. 

During 2015 until the Domain time II was installed on 07/25/2016 the UHSAS was synced 
manually about once a month.  Between syncs it generally drifted slow.  During the period 
until 06/24/2015 the monthly correction was less than 20 seconds.  There was a gap in the 
corrections and on 10/21/2015 it was corrected from 1 minute 22 seconds slow.  The 
corrections after that were from about 15 to 35 seconds slow.  The first time sync after Domain 
time II was installed corrected the time from 1 minute 12 seconds slow.

ENA/AOS/C1 - AOS Instrument Repair, Calibration and Modification: Mentor Site Visit
DataStreams:enaaosuhsasC1.a1
Description:
There was visit of 7 AOS instrument mentors to the ENA AOS during this period of 
instrument repair, calibration and modification. Instruments were occasionally off, or with no 
sample flow, or receiving calibration samples, etc. There was no productive sampling of 
ambient air during this period other than for testing. No data should be used for this period 
as ambient samples.

Note: Two datastream are missing. The CAPS Extinction Monitor and the Greenhouse gas 
instrument.

ENA/UHSAS/C1 - Reprocess: Non-optimal bin sizes
DataStreams:enaaosuhsasC1.a1
Description:
The UHSAS was programmed with a bin sizes appropriate to the aerial UHSAS. This is not 
really a problem. The bin sizes are not consistent with the other console UHSAS. The problem 
is in blindly comparing the data between the various UHSAS. This is not a problem of 
mislabeling or incorrect size bins. The data are correct for the stated size bins.
