Description:
After the DIR changeout on 8/27, the DLH measurements at the central facility vary 
significantly between pyrgeometers by as much as 65 Wm^(-2).  It was discovered that the two 
downwelling pyrgeometers destined for C1 and E13 may have been swapped during installation.  
The instrument mentor is unsure of applied calibration coefficients during this DQR's 
time period.  Backing out new downwelling longwave irradiances would be difficult in this 
case. Fortunately, the problem period is less than a fortnight.

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Monthly Report
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.b1
Description:
:Data quality this site-month is good. The offset for the Global PSP is about -7 W/m^2.
The dominant problem here is the daytime 3 component problem. Direct and Diffuse are
always too high and Global is too low. The problem occurs around the time that the
testing regime switches from twilight to daytime testing regimes or from daytime to
twilight. The flags occur in significant numbers on the 1st - 5th, 7th - 20th, 24th - 
28th,
30th, and 31st. The failures vary in magnitude and duration. The worst flags for a 
particular

respect to this problem. Global goes below daytime empirical limits on both the 5th and
6th for substantial periods of time. Diffuse
also goes below daytime empirical limits on the 6th in the afternoon. Upwelling Longwave
is
below empirical limits on the 24th. This may not be a problem, as many sites exhibited
the same problem on the same night. Exceptionally cold temperatures may be the cause.

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Reprocess: incorrect calibrations
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.00, sgpsirsE13.b1, sgpsirs20sE13.a0
Description:
After a long data gap on 5/25/2005, presumably a power outage, the following datastreams 
were showing incorrect values as well as incorrect calibration coefficients in the 
datalogger program:
down_long_hemisp_shaded (downwelling PIR instrument)
up_long_hemisp (upwelling PIR instrument)
short_direct_normal (NIP instrument)

The SIRS.E13 datalogger was power cycled (6/2/2005 2200GMT) and the correct program loaded 
into the SIRS datalogger and storage module.

The data during this time range can be recalibrated as follows:
First divide value by incorrectly applied cal coeff (first number) then multiply by 
correct cal coeff (second number)
  short_direct_normal           120.28	124.58
  up_long_netir                 0.2386	0.2595
  down_long_netir               0.3052	0.2304

Reapply cal coeffs below using up_long_netIR(uV), inst_up_long_dome_temp(K),   
inst_up_long_dome_temp(K) using procedure described in SIRS instrument manual.
