Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E24 - SIRS Signal Cable Damage at E24
DataStreams:sgpsirsE24.a1, sgpsirsE24.a0, sgpsirsE24.00, sgpsirsE24.01
Description:
Cattle from adjoining field had broken the electric fence wire around the equipment and
chewed radiometer cables in half adn damaged the shading arm(s) on the SciTec tracker.

The NIP and DD shortwave data collected during this time were recorded  by the
logger as 'over-range' or 'open-channel' (with corresponding data values stored as
'-99999') or a numeric value not representative of the real irradiance conditions
due to faulty connections.  Data for this period are to be considered MISSING.
Suggestions: 
Field repairs were made on 11 Feb 2000 by splicing the broken cable conductors.
The signal cables at this location should be replaced as soon as possible with
new cables to prevent corrosion problems.
Measurements:sgpsirsE24.a0:
  • Shaded pyranometer voltage(short_diffuse)
