Subject: | NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Datalogger grounding problem |
DataStreams: | nsaskyrad20sC1.a1, nsaskyrad60sC1.b1, nsaskyrad20sC1.a0, nsaskyradC1.00 |
Description: | 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. |
Suggestions: | During time ranges noted instrument data from the Skyrad datalogger is suspect. Disregard this data or review before use. |
