Platform/Measurement:
        What level data: (raw,a0,a1,b1,c1 etc): raw,a0,a1

    What location was the data collected at: E1
 
    Period of time in question
        Begin Date   about 96/04/06  
        End Date     ongoing problem  


 Data should be labeled:
 ___  questionable                      ___  All data fields affected
 _x_  incorrect                         _x_  Only some data fields affected
 ___  wrong calibration
 ___  others 
 
 Discussion of Problem: The MFRSR at site E1 has been grossly out of alignment
from about 96/04/06 to the present time.  This is an ongoing problem.  The poor
alignment manifests itself in a sawtooth pattern in the direct beam and diffuse
components of the MFRSR data.  During the time this pattern exists, the data
are almost useless.
 
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:



Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.): align instument at
earliest possible time (Logistically, this is harder than it seems at
first glance).
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirosE1.a1:
  • direct_norm_narrowband
  • diffuse_hemisp_broadband
  • direct_norm_broadband
  • diffuse_hemisp_narrowband
