SGP/SIRS/E6 - Questionable data due to Ice Storm damage
DataStreams:sgpsirsE6.00, sgpsirsE6.b1, sgpsirs20sE6.a0
Description:
Several SIRS readings at E6 readings have appeared questionable since the ice storm in 
early January.  Starting on 01/13 maintenance found the E6 tracker inoperative. It was reset 
and put back into serivice.  Shortly after, on 01/16 data from the DSH instrument (PSP) 
became questionable possibly due to obstructed or failed ventilator fan.  On 02/10 1645 
GMT maintenance found the DSH instrument ventilator fan failed - the fan was replaced,  
the E6 tracker was also realigned.  Due to early january ice storms, the tracker alignment 
issues and a failed ventilator fan - All tracker mounted and global DS instrument 
measurements are suspect for this time frame.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E6 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE6.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003.  
These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data.  The 
previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to 
restore proper calibrations.                                                             
                The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place are 
being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias.  Note, this also affected standard 
deviation, maximum and minimum data fields.
Measurements:sgpsirsE6.b1:
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)
