Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E12 - Shadowband misalignment
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE12.a0, sgpsirsE12.b1
Description:
The E12 tracker had failed from 7/20 to 8/2. The tracker was replaced and returned to 
service on 8/2.  However, the tracker was not aligned correctly until 10/18.  

Data for short_direct_normal (NIP instrument) and down_short_diffuse (8-48 instrument) are 
bad and not recoverable during this entire time range.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirs20sE12.a0:
  • Instantaneous direct normal shortwave irradiance, pyrheliometer thermopile
    voltage(inst_direct_normal)
  • Instantaneous uncorrected downwelling shortwave diffuse, shaded pyranometer
    thermopile voltage(inst_diffuse)
