Subject:
SGP/SIRS/C1 - NIP sensor failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsC1.b1, sgpsirs20sC1.a0
Description:
The short_direct_normal data are missing due to an instrument failure (NIP pyhrheliometer) 
likely due to a nearby lightning strike near the time of initial failure.

The short_direct_normal data are not recoverable during this time period.  However, direct 
normal data can be reconstructed from the down_short_diffuse_hemisp and 
down_short_hemisp using the following relationship for each data point:
short_direct_normal = (down_short_hemisp - down_short_diffuse_hemisp)/cos(zenith angle)
Suggestions: 
Measurements:sgpsirsC1.b1:
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrgeometer, Standard Deviation(short_direct_normal_std)
  • Shortwave Direct Normal Irradiance, Pyrheliometer, Maxima(short_direct_normal_max)
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer, minima(short_direct_normal_min)
  • Shortwave direct normal irradiance, pyrheliometer(short_direct_normal)

sgpsirs20sC1.a0:
  • Instantaneous direct normal shortwave irradiance, pyrheliometer thermopile
    voltage(inst_direct_normal)
