Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E7 - Instrument noise
DataStreams:sgpsirsE7.b1, sgpsirs20sE7.a0
Description:
Beginning around 10/31, the E7 UIR experienced an increasingly noisy signal.  The 
thermopile signal was noisy, but case and dome thermistors are well behaved.  Maintenance 
reseated the UIR cable connections on 12/12/2006 which effectively eliminated the UIR noise.

The thermopile data from the upwelling pyrgeometer is noisy with resulting irradiance 
variations of up to 5 W/m2, but doesn't appear to have a bias.
Suggestions: 
Use data during this time range at users discretion.
