Subject:
SGP/QCRAD/E7 - Shortwave fluxes appear to be too low
DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE7.c2, sgpqcrad1longE7.s2, sgpqcrad1longE7.c1, sgpqcrad1longE7.s1
Description:
All shortwave fluxes--best estimate global, global downwelling, diffuse, direct normal, 
and upwelling shortwave--are too low during this period.

The cause of this problem is not known. There are no instrument DQRs on this problem.
Suggestions: 
Do not use shortwave fluxes during this time.
Measurements:sgpqcrad1longE7.c2:
  • Down-welling unshaded pyranometer voltage(down_short_hemisp)
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer(short_direct_normal)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Diffuse Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyranometer(down_short_diffuse_hemisp)
  • 25 meter Upwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyranometer(up_short_hemisp)
  • Quality check results on field: Best Estimate Global Downwelling Shortwave
    Hemispheric Irradiance(BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp)
