Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT bias |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT behaved erratically, jumping frequently from reporting about 50 Wm^(-2) higher than the PIR for surface irradiance values to about 100Wm^(-2) lower than the PIR. Generally, the IRT measured lower surface temperatures than expected from the PIR. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C2 - IRT connector |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC2.b1 |
Description: | The IRT had a problem with the connector of either the signal or power cable which produced an output of 0 volts equivalent to a measurement of 223K. The problem was corrected when the connectors were cleaned and tightened. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT malfunction |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The internal IRT power supply failed (probably due to a lightning strike on 11/14) and was drawing excessive current on the data logger's DC system. The problem was corrected by replacing the instrument with a spare. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT power |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT failed to report after a planned power outage to add lightning protection modules to the AC power wiring. The problem was corrected when a loose power connection to the logger was found, rectified, and power restored to the logger. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT failed |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT began to fail on 4/7/2006 and failed completely (apparently due to the internal power supply) on 4/27. It was replaced on 5/18. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C1 - Reprocess: Longwave Calibration error |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC1.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 are being reprocessing to remove the calibration bias. Note, this also affected standard deviation, maximum and minimum data fields. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C3 - IRT bias |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC3.b1 |
Description: | The IRT reported higher surface temperatures than the PIR due to corrosion on the terminals of the lightning protection module and a ground wire error. The corrosion was cleaned and the wiring corrected. |

DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC2.b1 |
Description: | When the other GNDRAD radiometers were replaced on 12/3/2006, the quality of the IRT signal began to degrade until 12/26 when it became unusable. The instrument was replaced on 2/4/2007. |

Subject: | TWP/GNDRAD/C2 - Reprocess: IRT calibration |
DataStreams: | twpgndrad60sC2.b1 |
Description: | The configuration of the IRT was set to that used at TWP/C3. This caused the calibration of the data to be wrong. It was corrected by reconfiguring the IRT to match the datalogger program. These data can be reprocessed and corrected by adding 10K, i.e. sfc_ir_temp(new) = sfc_ir_temp(old) + 10K. |

DataStreams: | twpgndrad20sC2.a0, twpgndrad60sC2.b1 |
Description: | The Gndrad PSP was changed out 11/25 but the datalogger program was not updated until 11/30. PSP #31293 installed 20071125.2202. Correct calibration coefficient = 123.46. Reprocessed to correct upwelling shortwave hemispheric irradiance (US) by: US(new) = (US(old) / 123.56 ) * 123.46 Reprocessing completed March 2008. |
