Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E1 - Tracker malfunction
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE1.s2, sgpqcrad1longE1.c2
Description:
The solar tracker was inoperative during these time periods indicating that the shortwave 
direct normal, the shortwave diffuse, and possibly the downwelling longwave irradiance 
are inaccurate.

This also impacts the best estimate value because the sum of direct and diffuse cannot be 
used, and some tests can't be applied to the data.

Some problems documented in instrument DQRs:  D090520.1 & D090121.1
Suggestions: 
null
Measurements:sgpqcrad1longE1.c2:
  • Downwelling longwave hemispheric irradiance, pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp)
  • Quality check results on field: Best Estimate Global Downwelling Shortwave
    Hemispheric Irradiance(BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp)
