NSA/SKYRAD/C2 - wrong calibration coefficent for PIRd in ATQ

Due to confusion over ARM calibration policy, a revised calibration was installed
and was in place for the duration of the time period indicated.  When the error
was noted, the original calibration was re-installed.

Users may notice discontinuities in PIRd data at the time boundaries of this
DQR.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - reprocess: PIR identified as unshaded is really shaded

On 5/15/02 the Global PIR was moved from the unshaded
position on the Skyrad stand to a shaded spot on the
tracker.  It is still using the same Logger channel as
it did as an unshaded PIR even though it is now shaded.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Shaded PIR data suspect

The instrument had incorrect calibration settings on two accounts: 1. From 12/09 to 12/12, 
the calibration was set incorrectly. 2. The dome correction coefficients were not 
properly set until the early morning of 12/14. The erroneous settings caused an error probably 
less than 4%.

The PIR unshaded and the PIR shaded have a persistent offset between them, ranging from 0 
to 10 W/m2. It is particularly apparent during clear sky. The line of sight of the PIRd 
is obstructed making it difficult to assess the problem. The instrument was moved to its 
proper location in early February. The problem seems to have resolved itself with the move.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - NSA B&W nighttime offset in Barrow too large

This problem only became apparent as NSA C1 nights became long enough for full darkness. 
The shaded global diffuse instrument (Eppley 8-48) showed a negative nighttime offset 
larger than the expected 0 to -4 W/m2. Typically -5 to -8 W/m2. This size of offset is not 
uncommon with Eppley PSPs but not observed with Eppley 8-48s.  The problem was corrected 
with replacement of mounting screws which were creating a ground loop.

was corrected when the mirror was replaced.

Direct normal radiation values drop nearly to zero from about 1515 GMT - 1525 GMT from 
4/05 to 4/16 2004.  Field observation reveals the WWRp is shading the NIP instrument during 
this time.  This shading event was expected to occur several months after the soltice as 
well but archive data showed no shading on or around 8/30/2004.  The direct normal 
instrument was apparently only shaded during the time period noted.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - itermittant IRT bias

A problem with the SKYRAD IRT that itermittantly produced a gradual increase in the sky 
temperature measurement then a sudden correction, as compared to AERI, appears to have been 
caused by a combination of a failing IR detector, a poor signal cable, a contaminated 
(with condensation or frost) mirror or lens, and low ambient temperatures. The positive 
bias was apparently not consistant in either frequency or duration but on days when the 
unusual behavior is observed, it usually occurred from about 00:00 to 06:00 local time. 

The instrument was repaired and recalibrated and the signal cable replaced.

in preventative maintenance reports as continuing until on or near 5/18/2004. However, 
review of data shows no discernable radiometer icing.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Datalogger grounding problem

Both PIRs reported unreasonable high readings with coincident low reading from the IRT. 
Since both PIR instruments exhibited exactly the same behaviour and the IRT an opposite 
response during large suspect data excursions this indicates that the false signal maybe the 
result of poor grounding. 

The PIR1,2 data and the IRT data are most adversely affected.  During the problem periods 
PIR irradiance increased (typ pos 200-300W/m2) while the IRT response was negative (typ 
neg 20-30W/m2) but followed the response of the PIR.  The Skyrad shortwave instruments 
were also affected but to much less extent (within their uncertainties).  Data quality flags 
are typically not triggered during these problem periods.

Data logger grounding was improved on 6/10 2005.  The problem hasn't re-occurred since 
that time.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Reprocess: Incorrect datalogger program affecting PIR1 and PIR2 
downwelling longwave

The excitation delays using in measuring the PIR1 case thermistor commonly named "Case1" 
and the PIR2 dome thermistor called "Dome2" were discovered to have been incorrectly set 
to 0 in the Skyrad datalogger program when the new CR23X based Skyrad loggers were 
installed.  The result of no delay in these measurements results in an error in the measured 
resistance of the thermistors, Case1 and Dome2 and thus the calculated PIR1 and PIR2 
irradiances.  The errors are inversely proportial to temperature.

Users can apply the temperature dependent irradiance corrections shown in the table below. 
 Recall that the reported uncertainty of PIRs is typically +-.25% to +-.5% or 1 to 2 
W/m2.  The error corrections become the same order of magnitude or larger than the 
instrument uncertainties at or below 260K or 9F.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error

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.

NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Summer solstice shading of radiometers

On and around the summer solstice, the NIP (Direct Normal shortwave measurement) and PSP 
(global hemispheic shortwave measurement) radiometers are shaded by other instruments or 
support structures.  Shading azimuths have been determined for this site.  The radiometer 
mentor suggests not using the data from the NIP and PSP radiometers when the sun is 
within the following azimuth bounds (typically from May 8th to August 5th of each year):
