Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - failed SIRS multiplexer |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0 |
Description: | Beginning 10/14, a failed multiplexer resulted in missing downwelling shortwave data and downwelling and upwelling longwave data which were much too low. The multiplexer handles data for the longwave instruments (UIR and DIR) case and dome temperatures as well as the downwelling shortwave hemispheric instrument (DS). |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Unknown - Downwelling shaded longwave measurement incorrect |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0 |
Description: | Downwelling longwave values were very noisy and out of range due to a missing PIR case temperature measurement. Faulty wiring to the case temperature thermistor on the downwelling longwave IR instrument (PIR) was the likely cause of the problem. On 11/18, the E1 tracker and associated instruments (direct shortwave -NIP, hemispheric shaded shortwave -8-48 and hemispheric shaded longwave - problem PIR) were moved to a new tracker stand. Rewiring the instrument corrected the problem. |

DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1, sgpsirsE3.00, sgpsirsE3.b1, sgpsirsE5.00, sgpsirsE5.b1, sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0, sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirs20sE3.a0, sgpsirs20sE5.a0, sgpsirs20sE8.a0 |
Description: | A large discrepancy between the measured values of downwelling hemispheric shortwave radiation and the derived values occurred on 2/02 at the listed sites. The difference is on the order of 200 Wm^(-2) at E2 and to a lesser extent at the other affected stations. This problem most likely resulted from a previous day or night snow/ice accumulation on the Direct(NIP), Downwelling Sortwave(PSP) and/or Downwelling Diffuse(8-48) instruments. During the morning hours of 02/02, Approx 1300-2000GMT, snow/ice was covering one or more of these three instruments resulting in faulty readings and incorrect derived downwelling shortwave values as well. Instrument readings indicate the problem resolved itself later in the day through normal meltoff. |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1 |
Description: | During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changout a datalogger program was loaded with incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments. The affected measurements (instruments) were : downwelling diffuse (8-48), upwelling shortwave(PSP), direct normal (NIP) and downwelling shortwave (PSP) Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct calibration coefficients. For each one minute irradiance value perform the following calculations by instrument: DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*109.01 US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*111.47 NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*114.82 DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)*116.51 |

DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0 |
Description: | Occasionally, the downwelling shortwave diffuse hemispheric (DSDH) readings spike to unreasonably low levels, causing derived downwelling shortwave hemispheric (DSH) readings to spike well below the actual DSH readings. Technicians repaired the DSDH instument (an Eppley 8-48) cable on 02/08/2005 2055GMT. There have been no dropouts since that time. |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Reprocess: incorrect calibration coefficients for US (upwelling shortwave) |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1 |
Description: | During the changeover from 4 to 1 coefficient for the PIRs at SIRS/E1 (PIF) the datalogger program was programmed with the wrong calibration coefficient and serial number for the US PSP instrument measuring the Upwelling Hemispheric Shortwave radiation. The calibration coefficient was 114.43 W/m2/mV (instrument 30618F3) when it should have been 104.47W/m2/mV (instrument 29618F3) |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Intermittantly missing downwelling diffuse |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0 |
Description: | Starting on or about 10/26/2005 the downwelling diffuse hemispheric irradiance (Eppley 8-48) instrument had intermittant missing values. Technicians found a loose wire on the instrument connector and repaired it on 4/4/2006. Use global shortwave hemispheric (PSP) component - normal incident component (CosZA*NIP) to calulate diffuse component. Comparison of absolute difference between actual and computed diffuse component values and diffuse standard deviations > 1-2 W/m2 can help filter the noisy diffuse data. There is no standard method. |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.b1 |
Description: | Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003. These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to restore proper calibrations. The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place are being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias. Note, this also affected standard deviation, maximum and minimum data fields. |
