Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E21 - Instrument logger time problem, Unknown
DataStreams:sgpsirsE21.00, sgpsirsE21.b1, sgpsirs20sE21.a0
Description:
Values of diffuse hemispheric shortwave radiation differ from derived values by at most 70 
Wm^(-2).  The incident appears to be isolated to 3/21, 3/22, and 3/23. An estimation of 
solar noon using downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance from the PSP shows solar 
noon to oocur at around 1845GMT on 3/21. Calculated solar noon occurs at E21 at 1831GMT for 
3/21/2004.  There appears to be a time discrepancy in the datalogger for these dates.  
04/01 is the next date with enough sun to determine solar noon and compare to calculated.  
The data from this date appears correct.  Ronald Reed [rreed@ops.sgp.arm.gov] reports 
the logger did not receive any reportable time updates during the late March time period.  
We don't know what happened during these three dates but from 3/24 on data looks acceptable.
Suggestions: 
Disregard this data.
