SGP/SIRS/E11 - PSP dome contamination

Measured values of diffuse shortwave downwelling radiation fluctuated below derived values 
of downwelling shortwave radiation during the afternoon hours under clear conditions, 
probably due to a dirty PSP dome. 

SMOS precipitation and wind speed data reveal rain and wind on 02/19/03 at 2300 GMT 
probably contaminated the PSP dome with dirt.

Precipitation of .4mm on 02/29/04 1400 seems to have effectively cleared the PSP dome 
since PSP data on 03/01/04 compares correctly to direct and diffuse components.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients

During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changeout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
(instruments) were: downwelling diffuse (8-48), upwelling shortwave (PSP), direct normal 
(NIP) and downwelling shortwave (PSP)

Field tech reports the datalogger program was corrected on 4/27/04.  Archive data review 
shows this was not the case and the corrected datalogger program was uploaded sometime 
late day 5/4/04. The end date for this DQR was chosen to be 5/5/04 0000 the first full day 
of the correct datalogger program.

Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct 
calibration coefficients.  For each one minute irradiance value perform the following 
calculations by instrument:
DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*123.27
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*127.75
NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*126.69
DS(corrected) = (DS/118.46)*126.56

SGP/SIRS/E11 - Reprocessed: Incorrect upwelling longwave calibrations

Incorrect calibration coefficients were applied to the upwelling longwave measurements due 
to an error in the instrument configuration file.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - failed ventilator fan

E11 downwelling hemispheric shortwave instrument (Eppley PSP) has shown larger and larger 
nighttime offsets (from -5 to -10 W/m2) since October. A failed ventilator fan was 
discovered during PM and replaced on 4/4/2006.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error

Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in February 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.
