Subject:
TWP/SKYRAD/C3 - NIP instrument failure
DataStreams:twpskyradC3.00, twpskyrad60sC3.b1, twpskyrad20sC3.a0
Description:
The NIP (Short Direct Normal) was replaced after it displayed symptoms of failure 
associated with either unknown precipitation related issues or a possible lightning strike.

NIP data are not recoverable.  Direct normal data can be reconstructed from global 
hemispheric and global diffuse data using the following relationship:
   global hemispheric = direct*cos(sza) + diffuse hemispheric
Suggestions: 
Disregard NIP data.
Measurements:twpskyradC3.00:
  • (Raw data stream - documentation not supported)
