DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE20.s2, sgpqcrad1longE20.s1, sgpqcrad1longE20.c2, sgpqcrad1longE20.c1
Description:
The PSP was damaged by a lightning strike on 8/04/05 (22:10 GMT).  Data from other 
radiometers are good after this event.  The PSP, NIP and shaded 8-48 were replaced 8/17/05 and 
the system returned to service at 18:40 GMT.

Described in instrument DQR D050810.3.
Suggestions: 
Don't use GSW data during these time periods. If 

"source_BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp" is -1, don't use Best Estimate GSW data. Note that fewer quality checks can be 
applied accurately to the BestEstimate data.
