Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E1 - Tracker failure
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE1.a0, sgpsirsE1.b1
Description:
The tracker bypassed its limit switches and wound up the tracker instrument cables until 
it stalled and remained frozen.  It was unwound and reset during the site visit on 4/30.

Tracker instruments NIP and 8-48 (short_direct_normal, down_short_diffuse_hemisp) data are 
not recoverable.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirsE1.b1:
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer, minima(short_direct_normal_min)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer(down_short_diffuse_hemisp)
  • Downwelling shortwave diffuse hemispheric irradiance, pyranometer, maxima(down_short_diffuse_hemisp_max)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyranometer, Standard
    Deviation(down_short_diffuse_hemisp_std)
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer(short_direct_normal)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyrgeometer, Minima(down_short_diffuse_hemisp_min)
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrheliometer, Maxima(short_direct_normal_max)
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrgeometer, Standard Deviation(short_direct_normal_std)

sgpsirs20sE1.a0:
