Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E1 - Reprocess: incorrect calibration coefficients for US (upwelling shortwave) |
DataStreams: | sgpsirsE1.00, sgpsirsE1.b1 |
Description: | During the changeover from 4 to 1 coefficient for the PIRs at SIRS/E1 (PIF) the datalogger program was programmed with the wrong calibration coefficient and serial number for the US PSP instrument measuring the Upwelling Hemispheric Shortwave radiation. The calibration coefficient was 114.43 W/m2/mV (instrument 30618F3) when it should have been 104.47W/m2/mV (instrument 29618F3) |

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. |

Perform the following calculation to correct the data, DD=downwelling diffuse instrument: DD(new)[W/m2]=( DD(old)[W/m2]/122.85[W/m2\mV] )* 112.85[W/m2/mV] |

Problem is intermittant due to moving birds. Use data with discretion.

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. |

Description: | Beginning around 10/31, the E7 UIR experienced an increasingly noisy signal. The thermopile signal was noisy, but case and dome thermistors are well behaved. Maintenance reseated the UIR cable connections on 12/12/2006 which effectively eliminated the UIR noise. The thermopile data from the upwelling pyrgeometer is noisy with resulting irradiance variations of up to 5 W/m2, but doesn't appear to have a bias. |

Description: | NIP (short_direct_normal) 29541E6 had an incorrect calibration coefficient in the logger program. 128.97 should have been 126.67 [W/m2/mV]. |

Subject: | SGP/SIRS/E3 - Instrument leveling and tracker problem |
DataStreams: | sgpsirs20sE3.a0, sgpsirsE3.b1 |
Description: | Asymmetry between measured downwelling shortwave and derived downwelling shortwave hemispheric in the afternoon began late in fall and became more apparent as the sun moved higher in spring. This can happen when the PSP is unlevel or when the NIP is not tracking well. The PSP level was corrected and the clock on tracker was reset. Mentor suspects PSP was unlevel during this time range causing the discrepancy in measured vs. calculated downwelling shortwave hemispheric data. |
