Description: | Values of diffuse hemispheric shortwave radiation differ from derived values by at most 70 Wm^(-2). The incident appears to be isolated to 3/21, 3/22, and 3/23. An estimation of solar noon using downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance from the PSP shows solar noon to oocur at around 1845GMT on 3/21. Calculated solar noon occurs at E21 at 1831GMT for 3/21/2004. There appears to be a time discrepancy in the datalogger for these dates. 04/01 is the next date with enough sun to determine solar noon and compare to calculated. The data from this date appears correct. Ronald Reed [rreed@ops.sgp.arm.gov] reports the logger did not receive any reportable time updates during the late March time period. We don't know what happened during these three dates but from 3/24 on data looks acceptable. |
