SGP/SIRS/E16 - Tracker Misaligned
DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.b1, sgpsirs20sE16.a0
Description:
Direct Normal Shortwave (NIP) values may be reduced by tracker
misalignment (tracker clock slow by 2 minutes 10 sec on 2/18/04).

Downwelling Diffuse (DD) values may be increased by the tracker
misalignment.

Error amounts can not be accurately quantified.

SGP/SIRS/E16 - PSP Dome Contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.b1, sgpsirs20sE16.a0
Description:
Downwelling Shortwave (DS) values near 22:00 GMT during clear skys are
lower than expected due to contamination of pyranometer dome.  A dime-sized
spot of dirt was found on the southwest portion of the pyranometer dome. 
DS values for cloudy conditions during this period are also suspect, but
the amount of irradiance reduction are not significant.

SGP/ECOR/E16 - Data suspect due to inability to run QC

Some QC checks were unsuccessful due to a communication failure that resulted in 
contaminated QC field data.

All the data that are based on water vapor density and CO2 concentration are "suspect" 
because many of the standard QC checks were not employed.

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.

SGP/ECOR/E16 - Sonic serial communication errors caused incorrect fluxes
DataStreams:sgp30ecorE16.b1
Description:
Communication problem on the serial connection to the SONIC 
              caused data dropouts and subsequent data corruption.  In entering 
              the ECOR Linux box through the sonic serial port, the serial port 
              or the Linux driver handling it (likely the latter) sometimes 
              drops entire fields (one or more) within a line of raw sonic 
              data.  When that happens, the ECOR programming can not properly 
              parse the data (if it's not there to parse) and so the flux and 
              mean measurements come out as garbage in the 30 minute ECOR data 
              that is collected for ingest.

SGP/SIRS/E16 - NIP Instrument Failure
DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.b1, sgpsirs20sE16.a0
Description:
The short_direct_normal dropped below MIN value on 4/28/06 resulting in failure of the 
up_long_hemisp started 3-component test.  No data are available from 20060428.1900 through 
20060503.21:39.  When the data returned, the short_direct normal fluctuated wildly 
throughout the day, and down_long_hemisp & up_long_hemisp failed the 3-component test.  
Technicians determined the NIP had failed and replaced it 5/12.

Use component method ((global - diffuse)/cos(ZA)) to calculate direct normal. For more 
information on this summation method please see section 7.2 (Theory of Operation) of the

SGP/ECOR/E16 - LI-7500 Pressure and Temperature missing
DataStreams:sgp30ecorE16.b1
Description:
The pressure and temperature measurements were not recorded; the LI-7500 serial datastream 
was not being captured by the ECOR system because of a serial port failure.

Some degradation of the latent and sensible heat fluxes may have occurred during high 
summer temperatures.  The error in the fluxes would be no more than 5 to 10% of the 
measurement, still well within the measurement error of the system.

SGP/SIRS/E13 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE13.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 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.

DataStreams:sgpsirsE16.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.
