SGP/SIRS/E19 - Metadata errors
DataStreams:sgpsirsE19.b1
Description:
The latitude, longitude and altitude of the El Reno (E19) site were
incorrectly entered into the ARM database.  The correct location
of the SIRS.E19 instrument is:
   Lat: 35.557N
   Lon: 98.017W
   Alt:    421m
Measurements:sgpsirsE19.b1:
  • east longitude for all the input platforms.(lon)
  • north latitude for all the input platforms.(lat)
  • altitude above sea levelaltunits(alt)

SGP/SIRS/E19 - Ventilator failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE19.00, sgpsirsE19.b1, sgpsirs20sE19.a0
Description:
Dowenlling shortwave hemispheric instrument signal (Eppley PSP) is very erratic due to 
failed ventilator fan which was replaced during PM on 04/13/2006.

Subject:
SGP/SIRS/E19 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE19.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in July 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 have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
Measurements:sgpsirsE19.b1:
  • Upwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(up_long_netir)
  • Upwelling (10 meter) Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Ventilated Pyrgeometer(up_long_hemisp)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Net Infrared(down_long_netir)
  • Downwelling Longwave Hemispheric Irradiance, Shaded Pyrgeometer(down_long_hemisp_shaded)
