NSA/SKYRAD/C1 - Instrument cleaning effects

Starting Dec 16th the Skyrad PIR1 and PIR2 (down_long_hemispheric)started differing by 
greater than 30W/m2 at times.  This is much greater than expected  for these instruments 
(typical is <10-15 W/m2).  NSA OMIS reports and observer comments reveal that PM 
periodically clean the snow from the IRT and ventilator fans on Skyrad and Gndrad.  In the case of 
the Skyrad PIRs, one lies in the wind shadow of the other and builds up more snow which is 
periodically cleaned out and then builds up again causing the PIR1 PIR2 discrepancies.

Disregard down_long_hemispheric during this time period. However, data suggests PIR2 is 
most likely at fault - potentially use PIR1 data during this time period.
