Subject:
NSA/GNDRAD/C2 - Incorrect calibration coefficients applied to upwelling(Gndrad)PIR
DataStreams:nsagndradC2.00, nsagndrad60sC2.b1
Description:
An insitu test comparing the Gndrad PIR and the Gndrad IRT at the NSA was performed from 6 
Jan 2005 to 12 Jan 2005.  The radiometer mentor requested the Eppley single calibration 
coefficient for the PIR replace the 4 coefficients method developed by NREL.  The Grndrad 
PIR compared closer to the Gndrad IRT during this period. However, the radiometer mentor 
believes the 4 coefficient PIR irradiance measurements remains superior to the single 
coefficient Eppley PIR measurement method.  Further questions should be directed to the 
radiometer instrument mentor.
Suggestions: 
Disregard this data.
