Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E16 - Downwelling global SW incorrect
DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.b1, sgpsirs20sE16.a0
Description:
The down_short_hemisp (PSP instrument) values exhibit a large offset due to ventilator fan 
failure and induced instrument heating.  This offset cannot be corrected.  

Users can derive an estimate of global shortwave values with the following formula:
global = direct * cos(zenith angle) + diffuse
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE16.a0:
  • Instantaneous Downwelling Hemispheric Shortwave, Pyranometer Thermopile Voltage(inst_global)

sgpsirsE16.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)
