Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E22 - Tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE22.c2, sgpqcrad1longE22.c1, sgpqcrad1longE22.s2, sgpqcrad1longE22.s1
Description:
During the time ranges specified the SIRS solar tracker had failed for unspecified 
reasons. 
Measurements of short_direct_normal (NIP) and down_short_diffuse_hemisp (8-48) are 
incorrect
and not recoverable. Longwave data are unaffected.

Documented in instrument DQRs:  D071217.3 & D080602.1
Suggestions: 
Don't use SW direct or diffuse data during these time periods. If 

"source_BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp" is 0, don't use Best Estimate GSW data. Note that fewer quality 
checks can be applied accurately to the BestEstimate data.
