Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E21 - Ventilator Fan Failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE21.00, sgpsirsE21.b1, sgpsirs20sE21.a0
Description:
Start time is uncertain due to length of time this problem existed.  During the time frame 
specified the PSP (down_short_hemisp) and 8-48 (down_short_diffuse_hemisp) ventilator 
fans failed. PM replaced the fans 7/1/2008 1500. 
Ventilator failure does adversely affect thermopile radiometer measurements but the extent 
has not been quantified. The 8-48 is significantly less affected than the PSP. Mentor 
suggests using component sum method detailed in SIRS
instrument handbook where down_short_hemisp = down_short_diffuse +
short_direct_normal * cos (zenith angle) for each time record.
Suggestions: 
null
