are not suseptable to incorrect tracker operation. The downwelling hemispheric shortwave
PSP instrument mounted on Skyrad will not be affected by incorrect tracker operation. |

Subject: | TWP/SKYRAD/C3 - NIP Failure |
DataStreams: | twpskyrad20sC3.a0, twpskyrad60sC3.b1
|
Description: | Skyrad normal incident shortwave irradiance (NIP) started reporting impossible values for
direct normal irradiance starting 16 November approx 2100GMT corresponding to a rain
event at the same time.
The NIP was replaced fixing the problem.
Direct normal data are not recoverable. However, the NIP data can be calculated from the
global hemsipherical shortwave and global hemispherical diffuse datastreams by using the
following relationship:
Global Horizontal = Direct Normal x cos(Z) + Diffuse Horizontal
where Z is the zenith angle. |

Description: | The NIP (Short Direct Normal) was replaced after it displayed symptoms of failure
associated with either unknown precipitation related issues or a possible lightning strike.
NIP data are not recoverable. Direct normal data can be reconstructed from global
hemispheric and global diffuse data using the following relationship:
global hemispheric = direct*cos(sza) + diffuse hemispheric |
