NEUBrew Data Products
UV Product Files
UV data products having ascending levels of quality control (QC) applied to the data. As new improved QC algorithms are designed and implemented, new data files will be produced using the following file naming conventions:
| yyyy | Four-Digit Year 2000-2010 |
| DDD | Three-Digit day of year 001-366 |
| ssssss | Six-Character Station ID Code. First four characters denote abbreviation for a location. Last two characters denote a state code. TMTFCO represents Table Mountain Test Facility, CO. |
| BBB | Three-digit serial number of a Brewer Instrument. Example: 101-154 |
| pp | Two-character code identifying the product. Examples: UV or UX |
| SCR | Three-Digit code identifying the quality control level applied to the data: S - Level of QC applied to the Signal or counts from the Spectrometer. C - Level of Cosine correction applied to the data. R - Level of Responsivity applied to the data. For instance: SCR=000 would denote file of raw data; SCR=111 would denote file where counts were corrected, cosine was corrected and responsivity was applied. SCR=212 would denote data with better count corrections and better responsivity estimate than SCR=111. |
| SCR | Description |
|---|---|
| 100 | Dark Counts and PMT Dead Time corrections applied to data. |
| 101 | UV Irradiance obtained from the most recent CUCF responsivity. |
| 201 | Applies stray light correction and spike correction. |
| 211 | Applies basic cosine correction. |
| 212 | Applies basic temperature correction. |
Ozone Daily Average Product Files
Ozone data products having ascending levels of quality control (QC) applied to the data. As new improved QC algorithms are designed and implemented, new data files will be produced using the following file naming conventions:
| yyyy | Four-Digit Year 2000-2020 |
| ssssss | Six-Character Station ID Code. First four characters denote abbreviation for a location. Last two characters denote a state code. TMTFCO represents Table Mountain Test Facility, CO. |
| _o3 | Character code identifying the product as Ozone |
| vvv | QC Version code identifying the quality control level applied to the data:

Characterization
Brewer characterization files include;
- CUCF Lamp Calibration Data - data files and images about the precision lamps used to calibrate the NEUBrew Network Instruments for UV.
- CI Reference Scan Data - file containing the baseline reference CI Scan. These data are used to generate ratio plots of the Brewer's internal Halogen Quarts reference lamp
- Brewer Calibration Responsivity Data - data files containing the responsivity from all the UV calibrations that have been performed on the NEUBrew Network instruments.
Brewer Automatic Operation Schedules
To achieve autonomous operation Brewers require an operation schedule. The schedules consist of a solar elevation angle followed by a string of one or more two-character subroutine commands on a single line. Numbers between 2 and 99 can be appended to the end of a command string to cause the command string to be repeated n-times (or until the next solar zenith angle is reached.) There are two forms of the schedule A and B. Examples of the A and B schedules are shown below:
| SCHEDULE A | SCHEDULE B |
|---|---|
-115.0 jdb2w1cib0 -105.0 pfpdo3b1hgb0rssldtsln2slb0 -94.0 pfpdn2zszszszszs -92.40 pfpdo3b1hgb0kaum -90.0 pfpdo3kaum -85.0 pfpdo3uxkeum30 -80.0 pfpdo3kcumuxdskdumuxkcum30 -70.0 pfpdo3b1uxhguxpsdszsuxpsdszsuxpsdszsuxapn2dszs30 70.0 pfpdo3kdumo3uxdskdumux30 80.0 pfpdo3keumo3ux30 85.0 pfpdo3kaum 91.0 pfpdn2zszszszszs 94.0 pfpdo3b1hgb0rssln2slb0 105.0 pfo3 180.0 07150A2 |

Form A of the schedule runs four consecutive days, then B is run for one day, the succession then starts over as show in the Figure below:
The naming convention for schedule files is yydddFs:
where: yy = two-digit year, ddd=three-digit day of year, F=form A or B, s=sequence number 1-5.
yyyddd = the date timestamp the schedule was created.
NEUBrew Brewer Software
The Brewer software and sub-routines used by the NEUBrew Network instruments is based on the baseline version 3.75f software provided by International Ozone Services IOS. Several of the sub-routines have been modified to suit NEUBrew mission goals. New routines have been added to allow more flexibility to the Umkehr sub-routine. UV and CI routines have been modified to allow the NEUBrew version of the Brewer software to run on Linux platforms and Windows XP. All the source code for the NEUBrew software, modified routines, and newly added routines can be found on our FTP server (click on the link above).
Brewer Raw Data Files
Brewer raw data files are provided as produced by the Brewer instrument and its internal processing. No quality control are applied to these data. Raw data are intended for diagnostic purposes only.
