Subject:
NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:nsagndrad60sC1.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.
Measurements:nsagndrad60sC1.b1:
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)

Subject:
NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocessed: Incorrect calibration coefficient
DataStreams:nsagndrad20sC1.a0, nsagndrad60sC1.b1
Description:
Installed Gndrad PSP (upwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance) had calibration 
coefficient RS applied when it should have used Rsc.  ARM is using IR corrected coefficients 
Rsc@45 and CFc@45 for PSPs deployed at all facilities.  

PSP #32012F3 should use RSc@45=109.39 and not Rs@45=110.97.  

Reprocessed to correct upwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance (US) by:
US(new) = (US(old) / 110.97 ) * 109.39

Reprocessing completed March 2008.
