Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E20 - Failed tracker and improperly configured tracker
DataStreams:sgpsirsE20.b1, sgpsirs20sE20.a0
Description:
On 1/15/2007 the E20 tracker failed due to weather.  On 3/14 it was replaced but 
configured incorrectly (presumably the wrong lat/long).  This wasn't discovered and corrected 
until 6/6/2007 1745GMT.
All shortwave instruments dependent on proper tracker were affected.  This includes 
measurements: downwelling shortwave diffuse and direct normal.  Additionally, the global 
shortwave instrument have also been shaded during the second time range due to improperly set 
tracker.
Suggestions: 
Disregard data from affected instuments.
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE20.a0:
  • Instantaneous uncorrected downwelling shortwave diffuse, shaded pyranometer
    thermopile voltage(inst_diffuse)
  • Instantaneous direct normal shortwave irradiance, pyrheliometer thermopile
    voltage(inst_direct_normal)
  • Instantaneous Downwelling Hemispheric Shortwave, Pyranometer Thermopile Voltage(inst_global)
