Subject:
E3 - MFRSR out of alignment
DataStreams:sgpsirosE3.a1
Description:
The MFRSR at site E3 appears to be woefully out of alignment.  The alignment
problems started about 96/06/01.  It's not possible to exactly pin down
the date that the alignment problem started because the cloudy weather
that occured around 96/06/01 makes the detection of alignment problems
difficult.  (In fact, it wasn't until 96/06/19 that the problem could
be detected unambigiously).  The alignment problem at this site is so
severe that both the morning and afternoon data streams are affected. 
The alignment problem does not affect the total, downwelling radiation
stream.
Suggestions: 
align instrument - easier said than done
