The inset photographs shows the problem-a defective radiation shield that fell off (see text for details).
WEATHER NETWORK RADAR NY CITY SERIES
(top) Time series of 5-min temperatures from three temperature sensors (black, red, and green lines from 2-m aspirated RTD, 2-m HMP, and 9-m aspirated RTD, respectively) and solar radiation (orange line on left axis) on at the Otisville site. The 5-min difference (m s −1 color filled) in wind speed between the wind propeller and sonic anemometer is shown at 126 stations ( y axis) for 15– (UTC hours x axis) each row represents a different station, and stations are grouped by their climate division.Īn example incident showing the sensor repair process. The color of the arrows represents the flow of observations, flags, and logs. A processed file is then released to the public. The QA process: raw observations are reviewed using a variety of tests, flags are generated on the basis of the outcomes, the flags are reviewed, and then a final decision is made that determines whether the data are of high enough quality to release. The NYSM Operations Center is used for monitoring system networking and data and communicating with field technicians.Ī number of external factors can lead to sensor failure and/or erroneous data, such as (a) cows at the Clifton Springs (CLIF) site, (b) rodents in the enclosure, (c) snow and ice on the solar panels, (d) a hornet nest on the enclosure, (e) tall grass and weeds, and (f) lightning. Soil sensors are buried in the northwest corner of the station. A gate is placed on the north center side of the site the fold-over tower folds down to the north through the open gate. Solar panels are placed on the southeast corner of the site to minimize shadows on the panels. Each site is fenced within a 10 m × 10 m square area.
