Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E1/E2/E3/E5/E8 - Snow on Radiometers
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1, sgpsirsE3.00, sgpsirsE3.b1, sgpsirsE5.00, sgpsirsE5.b1, sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0, sgpsirs20sE2.a0, sgpsirs20sE3.a0, sgpsirs20sE5.a0, sgpsirs20sE8.a0
Description:	A large discrepancy between the measured values of downwelling hemispheric shortwave radiation and the derived values occurred on 2/02 at the listed sites. The difference is on the order of 200 Wm^(-2) at E2 and to a lesser extent at the other affected stations. This problem most likely resulted from a previous day or night snow/ice accumulation on the Direct(NIP), Downwelling Sortwave(PSP) and/or Downwelling Diffuse(8-48) instruments. During the morning hours of 02/02, Approx 1300-2000GMT, snow/ice was covering one or more of these three instruments resulting in faulty readings and incorrect derived downwelling shortwave values as well. Instrument readings indicate the problem resolved itself later in the day through normal meltoff.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E5 - anomalously low NIP readings
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE5.00, sgpsirsE5.b1, sgpsirs20sE5.a0
Description:	Direct normal (NIP instrument) irradiance readings fall anomalously on 3/17 18:43GMT to less than half the expected values during clear sky conditions. NIP readings returned to normal on 3/28/04 12:00. Maintenance on 3/29/04 19:48 revealed no unusual contaminents. Precipitation on 3/27 (measured by the SMOS system) probably cleared the NIP window of contaminents before scheduled maintenance.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E8 - Possible Contamination of DS PSP instrument
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE8.00, sgpsirsE8.b1, sgpsirs20sE8.a0
Description:	Downwelling hemispheric shortwave values drop at about 1500 GMT under clear sky conditions, typically from about 14:00GMT to 16:00GMT. This may be due to a dirty PSP but maintenance on 03/23/04 18:11 GMT revealed no more than typical light dust. The problem was essentially undetectable by 03/31/04 12:00. The time of day that the problem exists appears to be an exagerated PSP cosine response. No obvious reason presents why the problem appeared and then disappeared within this two week period.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E7 - PSP dome contamination
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE7.b1, sgpsirs20sE7.a0
Description:	Values of hemispheric downwelling shortwave radiation differed from derived values by 45 W/m^2 on 03/30 around 1430 GMT under clear sky conditions due to dirt on the dome. Maintenance reported cleaning heavy dust from dome on 04/06 2030 GMT.

DataStreams:	sgpsirsE5.00, sgpsirsE5.b1, sgpsirs20sE5.a0
Description:	The PSP dome was dirty. The magnitude of differences from derived vs. measured values of downwelling shortwave were about 75 W/m^2. Preventative maintenance on 4/21 cleaned instruments but they became dirty again immediately afterward and continued to be so until the next PM on 5/5.

The data were reprocessed in September 2006 with the correct downwelling longwave calibrations and archived on 20061003.

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/E1 - Intermittantly missing downwelling diffuse
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1, sgpsirs20sE1.a0
Description:	Starting on or about 10/26/2005 the downwelling diffuse hemispheric irradiance (Eppley 8-48) instrument had intermittant missing values. Technicians found a loose wire on the instrument connector and repaired it on 4/4/2006. Use global shortwave hemispheric (PSP) component - normal incident component (CosZA*NIP) to calulate diffuse component. Comparison of absolute difference between actual and computed diffuse component values and diffuse standard deviations > 1-2 W/m2 can help filter the noisy diffuse data. There is no standard method.

Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E3 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:	sgpsirsE3.b1
Description:	Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in March 2004. 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 August 2006.
