SGP/SIRS/E15 - PSP dome contamination

PSP dome was dirty.  Afternoon values of downwelling shortwave radiation were less than 
derived values by about 50 W/m^2.  

PSP values compare well to derived PSP values after precip event on 02/29/04 1300-1600 
GMT. Maintenance on 03/02 1713 GMT revealed no unusual contamination.  Precip on 02/29 
likely effectively cleaned the PSP dome.

SGP/SIRS/E15 - NIP cable failure results in missing data

The NIP began reporting -9999 (missing) for all direct normal 
              downwelling shortwave radiation.  Maintenance 6/8 revealed a 
              broken cable. Cable was repaired and NIP data returned to normal.

SGP/SIRS/E15 - Failed NIP cable

After the ice storm, the SHORT_DIRECT_NORMAL values were bad or
              missing continuously. Corrective Maintenance on 01/18 found
              the NIP cable had broken inside the Bendix connector. The NIP 
              cable was repaired and returned to service.

SGP/SIRS/E15 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error

Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in July 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 have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instantaneous data records.  
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
