| Subject: | SGP/DL/DLPROF/C1 - Instrumental artifact in vertical velocity variance profiles |
|---|---|
| Affected Datastreams: | sgpdlfptC1.b1 |
| Description | Long-term averages of vertical velocity variance profiles developed from vertical staring data show a height-dependent sinusoidal modulation superimposed on the atmospheric variance profile. This modulation causes a wiggle in the variance profile. The period of the wiggle is about 350 m, and the effect is most obvious during hot afternoon periods in the summer months. The exact cause of this problem is not known, but we suspect that it may be caused by temperature sensitivity in beam alignment. |
