Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E1 - Intermittently missing MFRSR data
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE1.s2, sgpqcrad1longE1.c2
Description:
Chunks of MFRSR data are missing during 20050514 - 20050712.  After maintenance was 
performed on 20050712 the 415, 500 and 940 nm channels are available, and while they look OK, 
they should be used with caution.

MFRSR data may be missing or zero; some tests on best estimate global shortwave cannot be 
applied.  BEGSW could be incorrect if MFRSR data used in tests or fits.

See instrument DQR D050521.1
Suggestions: 
Do not use BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp if source_BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp = 

-2; use with caution if source_BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp = 1 or 2.  Use any MFRSR 
fields in QCRAD data with caution for this time period.
