Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E31 - Intake fan failure
DataStreams:sgpsirs20sE31.a0, sgpsirsE31.b1
Description:
Beginning on 12/18/2013 approx. 01:30GMT the down_short_hemisp (PSP instrument) ventilator 
fan failed.  It was replaced on 1/13/2014 approx. 18GMT returning the down_short_hemisp 
measurement to normal operation.

During the specified time the downwelling shortwave data (down_short_hemisp) are suspect 
and not correctable.  Users are advised to use the derived down_short_hemisp available 
from the QCRAD VAP (BestEstimate_down_short_hemisp).  This is the usual recommended source 
for downwelling shortwave broadband irradiance.
Suggestions: 
Use QCRAD data
Measurements:sgpsirsE31.b1:
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer, Standard
    Deviation(down_short_hemisp_std)
  • Downwelling Shortwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Pyranometer, Minima(down_short_hemisp_min)
  • Down-welling unshaded pyranometer voltage(down_short_hemisp)
  • Downwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance, pyranometer, maxima(down_short_hemisp_max)
