Subject:
NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Noisy PIR Data
DataStreams:nsagndrad60sC1.a1, nsagndrad60sC1.b1
Description:
During the period referenced, the ground PIR was noisy in  
              comparison to the the sky PIR data.  (Note U021211.1 documents
              same problem for 9/1/98-2/28/99)

              The noise problem continued after the GNDRAD data logger was 
              replaced in late September. Particularly strong examples of the 
              noise can be seen in data from 11/10 - 11/19/99. The peak to 
              peak noise reaches 12 W/m2.

NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Rad instruments shaded by shelter
DataStreams:nsagndrad60sC1.a1, nsagndrad60sC1.b1
Description:
Each day around 02:00 - 03:30 GMT there is a unexpected decrease 
              for the PSP irradiance measurement due to a shading problem 
              associated with the swing set location relative to the instrument 
              shelter.  The GNDRAD NET and MFR instrument data also reflects 
              this problem.  Problem was resolved when the GNDRAD instruments 
              were moved to the 10 meter tip tower.

Subject:
NSA/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocess: IRT insufficiently heated
DataStreams:nsagndrad60sC1.b1
Description:
IRT had insufficient heating to maintain an internal reference temperature above 0 degrees 
C. Measurements of surface temperature were over-estimated when instrument was below 
freezing.

Data will be reprocessed, but users can correct data using the following correction 
factor:

If T_reference < -5?C, then

  IRT_corrected = (IRT_original - 32.993K)/0.87238

where T_reference can be estimated with the ambient temperature (e.g. 
inst_up_long_hemisp_dome_temp or inst_up_long_dome_temp)

  • Surface Infra-Red Temperature Minima(sfc_ir_temp_min)
  • sfc_ir_temp_std
  • Surface Infra-Red Temperature Maxima(sfc_ir_temp_max)
  • Effective Surface (Skin) Temperature(sfc_ir_temp)
