SGP/SIRS/E13 - Adjust Direct Normal Irradiance
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.00, sgpsirsE13.01, sgp1swfanalsirs1longE13.c1, sgp15swfanalsirs1longE13.c1
Description:
Direct normal broadband shortwave irradiance measured by NIP s/n 30585E6 was found to have 
a 1.76% negative bias when compared in-situ with absolute cavity radiometer measurements 
taken on August 21, 2000.  The estimated measurement uncertainty of the calibration of 
NIP s/n 30585E6 on July 18, 2000 was -2.2% to +2.8%.  

Data from NIP s/n 30585E6 can be adjusted according to the in-situ comparisons to reduce 
the apparent measurement bias.

SGP/SIRS/E13 - SWFANAL Data description error
DataStreams:sgp1swfanalsirs1longE13.c1, sgp15swfanalsirs1longE13.c1
Description:
The long name attribute for the cloud effect fields incorrectly
defines the cloud effect to be the difference between the 
clearskyfit and measured values:
   
"Difference: ***fluxdn_clearskyfit - ***fluxdn_measured (***fcg)" ;
   
The cloud effects are correctly calculated by subtracting the
irradiance calculated in the clear sky fit from the measured 
irradiance.
   
"Difference: ***fluxdn_measured - ***fluxdn_clearskyfit (***fcg)" ;
   
NOTE: this is just a documentation error.  The data are correctly
calculated.
