Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E12 - NIP failure
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE12.a0, sgpsirsE12.b1
Description:
The short_direct_normal values are mostly missing (-9999) starting when the datastream 
came back from an extended period of no data files.  Ops determined the NIP 
(short_direct_normal datastream) instrument had failed and it was replaced.

Values of short_direct_normal can be reconstructed using the following relationship 
applied for each time period:
short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse)/cos (zenith angle)
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE12.a0:
  • Instantaneous direct normal shortwave irradiance, pyrheliometer thermopile
    voltage(inst_direct_normal)

sgpsirsE12.b1:
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer(short_direct_normal)
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer, minima(short_direct_normal_min)
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrheliometer, Maxima(short_direct_normal_max)
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrgeometer, Standard Deviation(short_direct_normal_std)
