Subject:
TWP/SKYRAD/C3 - Incorrect NIP cal coefficient
DataStreams:twpskyrad60sC3.b1
Description:
During our site visit comparison at Darwin we observed that the skyrad NIP was reading 
about 50 w/m2 lower than the comparison cavity radfiometer and the replacement NIP on the 
comparison stand. We found that the calibration coefficient for the NIP (responsivity at 
45o)was put in as 8.64X10-6. The NIP was new and had not been calibrated at SGP. The 
factory number was 8.04X10-6. We corrected the calibration coefficient and the instruments 
agreed to better than 5 w/m2.
Suggestions:
