MOBYnet - Stability - Documents


MOBY-net will have 2 each blue and red specs - BS5 and BS6 and RS5 and RS6

A radiometer (CAS, Instrument Systems) and a stability source (SQM-5002, Yankee Environmental Systems) have been purchased for the MOBY-NET project. The idea is to ship the monitor system with the optical buoy between deployments (somewhere besides Hawaii) and calibration (at the MOBY Hawaii site).  We will be doing the characterization here, and I will also do some calibrations so we can estimate the levels as well as track what may be changing with independent sources or radiometers.

Problems Seen
300.01 CAS problem 1 Carol Foreoptic selections for the MOBY NET CAS. Solution: we have ordered two fiber bundle systems – irradiance and bare fiber; TBD design radiance head 3 Sep 2015 CAS
300.02 SQM Problem 1 Carol SQM housekeeping logging software. Solution: we have put YES’ V0 into Labview 2013 and call this V1. After deciding operating protocols, we will make a V2 3 Sep 2015 SQM
300.03 SQM Problem 2 Carol SQM adaptor plate for holding the radiometers to be tested. Solution: we will keep the YES plate and use its 4.125” ID hole to mate to. 3 Sep 2015 SQM
300.04 SQM Problem 3 Carol New SQM Manual and Notes as we go along. Solution: we making notes in the manual or the web site. 3 Sep 2015 SQM
300.05 SQM Problem 4 Carol :No spare SQM lamps. Solution: we ordered replacement lamps and will make the mounting fixtures and pot them in the NIST shops. 9 Sep 2015 SQM
300.05 SQM Problem 5 Carol There is little UV because the window is glass and the diffuser is acrylic. Solution: replace both with fused silica (quartz)-based materials. 17 Sep 2015 SQM
