Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E7 - Downwelling Shortwave failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE7.b1, sgpsirs20sE7.a0
Description:
The downwelling shortwave (Global PSP) values were dropping out.  Problem started 2/4 but 
became persistent 3/9 and continued until replacement of Mux on 5/15.

PSP data (down_short_hemisp) is not recoverable but can be calculated using:
global = direct*cos(zenith angle) + diffuse 

See the SIRS instrument handbook for details of this component sum method.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE7.a0:
  • Instantaneous Downwelling Hemispheric Shortwave, Pyranometer Thermopile Voltage(inst_global)

sgpsirsE7.b1:
  • Down-welling unshaded pyranometer voltage(down_short_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyranometer, Minima(down_short_hemisp_min)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer, Standard
    Deviation(down_short_hemisp_std)
  • Downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance, pyranometer, maxima(down_short_hemisp_max)
