SGP/SIRS/E4 - Shadowband Misalignment
DataStreams:sgpsirsE4.00, sgpsirsE4.b1, sgpsirs20sE4.a0
Description:
The solar tracker failed on 12/4, resulting in bad direct and 
               diffuse measurements. The tracker started working again on 12/8 
               without Ops intervention.  Technician maintenance checks on 12/3
               and 12/17 reported correct tracker operation.

SGP/SIRS/E4 - Dirt on Dome
DataStreams:sgpsirsE4.00, sgpsirsE4.b1, sgpsirs20sE4.a0
Description:
The downwelling shortwave hemispheric radiation data are suspect.  The PSP dome appears to 
have been very dirty, especially during times when the sun angles were low.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E4 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE4.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:sgpsirsE4.b1:
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)
