Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E4 - UPS failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE4.b1, sgpsirs20sE4.a0
Description:
On Jan 13th approximately 1400GMT the UPS failed at E4. This affected both the global and 
tracker mounted instruments. The affected measurements are down_short_hemisp(PSP), 
down_short_diffuse(8-48) and direct_normal(NIP) measurements.  The PSP down_short_hemisp 
measurement doesn't rely on the tracker but is power ventilated and is adversely affected by 
daytime solar heating when the ventilator power fails.
Suggestions: 
Disregard the data.
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE4.a0:
  • Instantaneous direct normal shortwave irradiance, pyrheliometer thermopile
    voltage(inst_direct_normal)
  • Instantaneous uncorrected downwelling shortwave diffuse, shaded pyranometer
    thermopile voltage(inst_diffuse)
  • Instantaneous Downwelling Hemispheric Shortwave, Pyranometer Thermopile Voltage(inst_global)
