Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E1 - Intermittantly missing downwelling diffuse
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE1.a0, sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1
Description:
Starting on or about 10/26/2005 the downwelling diffuse hemispheric irradiance (Eppley 
8-48) instrument had intermittant missing values. Technicians found a loose wire on the 
instrument connector and repaired it on 4/4/2006. 

Use global shortwave hemispheric (PSP) component - normal incident component (CosZA*NIP) 
to calulate diffuse component.  Comparison of absolute difference between actual and 
computed diffuse component values and diffuse standard deviations > 1-2 W/m2 can help filter 
the noisy diffuse data.  There is no standard method.
